• Paired with: Fall Harvest Salad
Elysian The Great Pumpkin (8.1% ABV)
• Tasting Notes: Pours a hazy orange/amber color. Aroma is a seasonal autumn blend of cinnamon, vanilla, pumpkin, nutmeg and graham cracker. Tastes like pumpkin pie with Thanksgiving flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla, graham cracker, caramel, brown sugar and allspice.
• Paired with: Pumpkin Beer Soup
Elysian Dark O' the Moon (6.5% ABV)
• Tasting Notes: Pours dark as night with a creamy tan head. A little smokiness on the nose with malty bittersweet chocolate and a little coffee with subtle earthy pumpkin and spices for an overall nice and creamy mouth.
• Paired with: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding
Elysian Punkuccino (6% ABV)
• Tasting Notes: A pumpkin ale with the attitude of a world-weary barista, Punkuccino packs a short shot of Stumptown coffee toddy in your pint with just a shake of cinnamon and nutmeg. Pours golden with orange highlights.
• Paired with: Coffee Rubbed Rib-Eye
Breckenridge Nitro Pumpkin Spice Latte (5.5% ABV)
• Tasting Notes: Nitro Pumpkin Spice Latte is a stout made with dark roasted malts and carefully roasted cold pressed coffee beans. Vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves delicately complement the taste of rich pumpkin.
• Paired with: Pumpkin Beer Waffles
