About This Beer
The Stout specialists at Prairie started with a rich base swirled with pumpkin, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, coriander, clove, and caraway. Then they aged it nearly a year in bourbon barrels adding decadent accents of vanilla oak to the mix.
Tasting Notes
Cocoa kissed with autumnal spice tumbles into pumpkin pie topped with whiskey-infused whipped cream on every full sip. Bourbon caramel ties it all together for an incredibly balanced brew absolutely brimming with fall flavors. Just mind the 13.6% ABV as you soak in the season!

New gold standard for barrel aged pumpkin beers as far as I'm concerned. Pleasant warming from the barrel, perfect spice blend and that nice hearty and rich pumpkin.

Nose smelled of pumpkin pie. The taste was more of a roasty coffee stout with pumpkin spices. Clove was a bit too heavy for sure.

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle dated 8/22/22 into a snifter.
Look- Black, medium brown frothy head, opaque, average head retention and lacing.
Smell- Allspice, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa, bourbon, high strength of scent.
Taste- Bourbon, allspice, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, coffee, high strength of flavor.
Feel- Medium body, moderately mouth warming, very mildly mouth coating, slightly below average carbonation, mildly creamy, smooth.
Overall- Look was jet black with average head retention and lacing. The bouquet was a delightful pungent mix of bourbon and pumpkin pie. Flavor was reminiscent of bourbon and pumpkin pie filling with a slight twinge of coffee. Feel was nice, but thinner with not as much mouth coating as expected. Overall this was a delicious fall beer and will be the high water mark I compare all pumpkin beers to.

Very similar to the Basic Becky but so much smoother. Barrel-aging blends the spices well and introduces some caramel notes.
