Sipping Through Time: A Tale of 2017 Southern Tier Pumking Ale

In the quaint corners of Aroma Thyme Bistro, where the aroma of spices mingles with the crisp autumn air, a magical transformation is taking place. Fall has woven its golden tapestry across the world, and in the heart of this season, a cherished tradition is being upheld—the arrival of the pumpkin beer season. And not just any pumpkin beer; it’s the unveiling of a true treasure from our beer cellar, a gem that has been patiently waiting for its moment in the spotlight—the 2017 Southern Tier Pumking beer, a rum barrel-aged masterpiece.

A Symphony of Flavors: As the golden liquid flows from the tap, it carries with it the essence of autumn nights and the anticipation of warmth. The tasting notes read like a sonnet dedicated to the season—malty sweetness wrapped in the embrace of a rich rum barrel. With every sip, vibrant notes of vanilla, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg dance on the palate. Imagine indulging in a luscious pumpkin puree, its sweetness melding seamlessly with the heartwarming spices of a freshly baked pie. Cinnamon takes the lead, accompanied by the gentle undertones of nutmeg, vanilla, and a subtle hint of oak and caramel rum from the aging process. It’s not just a beer; it’s a sensory experience, a nostalgic journey through the flavors of fall.

The Art of Vintage Beers: Some things, like fine wine and vintage beers, only get better with time. The 2017 Pumking, carefully stored and aged, has blossomed into a complexity of flavors that captivates the senses. Each year has added a layer of intricacy, making this brew a testament to the artistry of aging. It's not merely a beverage; it's a testament to the passage of time, a reminder that some things are worth the wait.
