95 Rating – Heavy Seas Beer – The Greater Pumpkin

Who came up with this beer's recipe?
The Heavy Seas brewing team. We've been making this beer for a number of years now.

What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)? 
The bourbon flavor/aroma imparted by the barrel-aging gives the beer an incredibly rich and satisfying aspect.

Where does this beer’s name come from?
Originally, it was called The Great Pumpkin. When we decided to age it in bourbon barrels the second year we brewed it, it became "greater," so we simply added the "'er."

Is this your "desert island beer?"
Not likely, unless I were stranded on an island with cheesecake, vanilla ice cream and pumpkin pie.

Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
A rich, spicy, indulgent, high-octane and well-balanced treat.
