I agree. I know lots of people love ST Pumpking but I think it is way over spiced.My personal tastes find most all the pumpkin ales to be overly spiced. The batch I used I used hardly any spice and I think it's just right.
http://www.valleywineandspirits.com/proddetail.php?prod=5183Pumpkin Ales are my favorite seasonal brew and I was quite pleased to see a few newcomers to the shelves of my favorite beer store :grin:. However, I cannot seem to find Dogfish Head's renowned Punkin Ale :disappoin. I was wondering if any BOTL out there would be willing to help a brother procure some of this tasty brew?? :help:

check out the list price on that link. :hysterica
I did the same I'm just waiting for it to carb up. I think it'll be quite smooth and delicious. It bugs me to look at homebrew recipes that have a TON of spices in there. I cook a lot too and I extend my cooking knowledge into brewing. A little spice goes a long way. Especially with cinnamon and the typical spices in pumpkin pie. Some of the recipes even list the individual spices and then a dose of pumpking pie spice! What's the damn point of adding a mixture spice? We should trade pumpkin ales.I agree. I know lots of people love ST Pumpking but I think it is way over spiced.
I brewed my pumpkin ale with just a little bit of cinnamon,nutmeg,orange peel and one vanilla bean. Nice and creamy with just a little spice in the background
