Tosspot Pumpkin Swalley

Better late than never... so this beer I made was brewed back in September and was ready to drink in mid October. It made a little over 5 gallons and turned out to be a big hit in the neighborhood. All of it is gone, except for one bomber. One of my kind neighbors allowed me to use some of his rare scotch to soak the oak chips in. This really took the beer to another level. I found notes of oak and scotch the longer it sat in the bottle. Pumpkin was put into the mash which gave the beer more body and mouth feel. The spices where not overpowering and gives it a nice added touch. This is definitely a keeper and will need to be brewed again.  Now if I can only decide what to make next .. barleywine or imperial stout hmmmm ...
