Our continued exploration of pumpkin beer takes somewhat of a step backward this week as we revisit one that we have already tried. Back in 2014 as part of our annual pumpkin beer podcast we tried the Southern Tier Brewing Company Pumking Imperial Ale but until we watched that episode again we had forgotten exactly how we felt about it. Our overall feeling was that we initially really liked the aroma but after tasting it we felt it was more vanilla nut than pumpkin spice. We decided to try it again for a couple of reasons. One is that it is being sold at Trader Joe’s so it was extremely easy to get our hands on a bottle. The second reason is that Andrew has heard it talked about on numerous occasions recently which made us decide to give it one more try. Put those two things together and you have this week’s show!
