Pumpkin spice ale - which one?
It's october/halloween yadda yadda
I so far have not been terribly impressed with the couple of pumpkin spice ales I've tried. I can't even remember which one.
But is there a good one out there?
I've had an Allegash with coriander spice (not pumpkin) which I enjoyed, so when in the mood I would think that a good pumpkin spice beer is possible.

I cant stand any of them. People keep buying them for me saying "oh you hated that other one, you will LOVE this one." No I just don't like pumpkin spiced ales. If anyone gets me any this season I will give it to you.

I love beer talk on i-club, its awesome! But Im with the others Im not a huge pumpkin spice brew kinda guy...I have the theory that if you have to add things other than fermentable sugars you are on par with a mix drink (with less abv, lol). Now Oktoberfest brews I can get down with, as its a traditional German style beer that is pretty hard to brew and make awesome.
But I have started to brew winter beers (as compared to my normal hop heavy PA's and IPA's)...fermenting a oatmeal stout as we speak. I do want to do a nice high ABV dark lager like a doppelbock for this winter, and being the lager time it will be ready to drink late winter. Or maybe a Belgian trippel or quad...something that will warm the belly as it goes down.
Here is my brewery, its a more beer tippy dump replica built by me.
