182,649 people on Untappd agree, Pumpking from Southern Tier is the definition of an incredible Pumpkin Ale with its spires of booze, punchy spice and sweet pumpkin glow.

Southern Tier makes this legend even more legendary in a special rum-barrel-aged edition! Rum explosively propels the warming nutmeg and cinnamon pumpkin pie spices throughout the room and boosts the booze all the way up to 9.5% ABV. Blimey! I get a buzz from pumpkin pie on it’s own -- combine that with an incredible imperial ale and rum and I’ll be dancing through the pumpkin patch.

Aromas of a freshly sliced pie dosed in the finested Cuban rum delight the nostrils. A lush bronze pour shines with guilt-inducing lustre like ill-gotten treasure. Do I deserve such a treat? With a sip I say yes. Mind-spinning booze and caramelized gourds tingle my tongue all the way to my tonsils.

Pumpking is one of the must try beers of the fall season. Rum Barrel Pumpking is becoming one as well -- with a 4.2 on Untappd, its acclaim is already surpassing the original!
