A Note on This Beer

Every Halloween night, it emerges from the shadows. It’s dark and mysterious, captivating innocent beer lovers everywhere, for who can resist the seductive flavors of homemade pumpkin pie?

It's none other than Spooky Hollow, the Rum Barrel-Aged Imperial Porter from Copper Kettle Brewing! And today, it’s coming for YOU!

You may sense its presence from the pungent scents of nutmeg, ginger, allspice, cassia, and cloves that waft through the air when it comes near. You can try to run, but your taste buds will be no match for the mouthwatering flavors of caramel and toffee from its 6 months spent hidden in Colombian Rum Barrels.

Once you’re caught in its rich, full-bodied clutches, the brew hypnotizes the senses with its 9.2% ABV!

Are you prepared to take on the Porter that fans are calling “remarkable” with “EXCELLENT flavor, PERFECT amount of pumpkin?” Then you may want to stash a few cans away before Halloween, because this legendary brew will disappear with the dawn!

Copper Kettle Brewing Co. won a GABF Gold Medal after being open for just five months!

Really awesome flavors, but could be a bit more pumpkin-y. The rum comes through and has excellent bite.

Nice traditional porter taste, coffee and mocha with a hint of maple. Very indicative of fall.

This is too bitter to drink easily. There's a definite pumpkin flavor present, but I wouldn't drink this again.

Heavy on the rum. Missing something. Maybe a touch of sweetness? Overall pretty good but not amazing.

Anyone else get lime flavors from this? Thinner mouthfeel than expected.

Don’t judge this one until it warms up. First few sips were disappointing but it really opened up. Boozy with root-beer-like notes.

Too boozy. I love barrel aged, boozy stouts/porters but this one is not balanced well. Decent beer but wouldn't buy again for the price

Good flavor, a little heavy on spices for my taste. I get a hint of rum barrel but more would be good.

Creamy and malty up front, then sweet, with hints of vanilla, roasty coffee and cinnamon, finishes lightly boozy with lingering spices.

One of the better pumpkins out there. I know, my collection is just over 175 different kinds. The flavor lasts as many pumpkin beers fall short after the first sip. This one is nicely spiced, and a bit thicker than your grocery store regulars. Love the smokestack can! Well done!

Pumpkin-y but the rum really comes through.

Strong rum notes. When opened, that's all that could be smelled. I drank it chilled - at this point, it tasted like spiced rum. Once it warmed up a bit (close to room temp) the pumpkin spice flavors came through. It was good, but honestly I've had better and probably won't get it again.. Loved the can art though.

I really wanted to love this beer. Needs more pumpkin and less ginger. It’s very heavy on notes of ginger.

Beautiful pumpkin spices as it warms and never feels or hits like its ABV would suggest.

Nice and spicy with good deep porter flavor. Rum aging added a nice sweet flavor that masked the ABV well.

Delicious! Pleasant tastes of molasses, pumpkin pie spices and light alcohol warmth. Goes well with watching the Tim Burton classic Sleepy Hollow movie.

It was delicious. One of the best stouts I’ve tried on here. Just the right amount of pumpkin and spices to complement the coffee flavor.

This imperial pumpkin porter was so so not bad but nothing to write home about either. At least I could detect a slight pumpkin note.

I loved the spice that was upfront followed by the pumpkin and porter flavor that lingered in the aftermath.

One of my favorite porters of the year. Very festive and spicy, yet refreshing at the same time which is hard to achieve with fall flavored holiday beverages.

average with no rum barrel characteristics at all.

4.0

great pumpkin and spice flavor. This would get a higher score if the rum flavor at the end didn’t taste a bit off. I am used to bourbon so maybe that’s it.

Definitely different. Didn’t love it, but didn’t hate it either.
