Brew Batch #49 Smashed Pumpkin

A little behind the season but I wasn't going to let another fall go by without me trying my hand at this one if I could help it. It sampled out a phenomenal dark marmalade with a heavy pumpkin nose. This is what the brew dudes and I have been talking about is the difference in "pumpkin" beers. Some are more pumpkin PIE and others are more PUMPKIN ale. This is showing to be more of a PUMPKIN ale. I'm really looking forward to this one getting down in temp and then me trying not only the 4 bombers I put up tonight but the other 4.5C of kegged that I can divvy out to the TnDC/Beat-12 fans of the world. FG 1.008+ 0.001@ 70F to yield a healthy 7%. If I do it again, there'll be a crown from bottlemark.com involved!
