There's Stuff in My Beer

So, apparently when trying the #11 best beer, one should be ready to deal with pieces of stuff mixed into the normal ingredients.
11Pumking
Southern Tier Brewing Company
Pumpkin Ale / 8.60% ABV
4.011,878 | 7,119

Tara was not.  So this wonderful two person experience ended up going all to me.  I didn't complain too much though, and dug in for a pumking beer.  There is a whole lot of flavor text regarding the Pumpking and how it is pagan and things like that, but I am too lazy to get up and figure it out.

Overall, I liked the taste, but found it a bit much, even for a Friday night.  It is probably the most pumpkinest beer that I've tasted so far though - must be the additional pieces of stuff that they added.  Very smooth though, and just like the liquor guy said, able for one person to drink by themselves.  Apparently the next one to be enjoyed, Heavy Seas - Great’ER Pumpkin,can't be enjoyed by yourself and needs to be enjoyed with a partner.  We'll find out more about that in the future...

Another pumpkin beer enjoyed this week is the the Mully's Brewery Pumpkin Face.  A local brewery, the beer actually tasted a lot better than expected.  Hopefully they don't get the water, hops, or whatever other ingredients are included in the beer from that area....
Anyways, it tasted "OK" for Tara, and I rather liked it.  Not as sweet and pumpkiny as the last beer.  A lot darker, obviously, and again, not much spice.  Pretty good beer!

Watching "Vacation" and "Jurassic World".  Will see if Tara makes it through Jurassic World.
