Baby Hercules Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 OK, I just tried Night Owl and I have to say...meh. Not what I expected. Not enough pumpkin. Not enough booze. Not enough fun. This conclusion was only exacerbated by the event of my tipping over half the bottle on a panel of Dry Clean Only drapes and a pale shade of rental carpeting. Luckily there are about four more pumpkin beers to try between now and Halloween. Baby Herc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Hercules Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Well...I bought a bomber of the infamous Southern Tier's Imperial Pumking and prepared to be amazed. I'm still waiting to be amazed. Okay, it is good--it has a nice subtle pumpkin pie flavor that hits you like an afterthought. You can even taste the whipped cream on top, though it's totally vegan. I guess I was just expecting something thicker and sweeter. I favor the kind of beer you have to sip or else, the stuff you can stick a fork up in. This was very mild compared to the imperial stouts I'm used to. At 8.5%, you can't not feel it and I can see it going very well with a nice vegan Thanksgiving dinner. But stock up now, it's a limited release every year. I had to woo a local New Seasons beer sommelier to tell me when his one case came in stock. It'll be sold out by the end of Labor Day weekend, mark my words.
