    Notes

    		 
    Joel is my son, about 20 months old when I brewed this. He is a happy little guy with tons of energy and a zest for life.

This is a strong Scotch ale brewed with pumpkin. Like Joel, it is my first pumpkin (get it????!!!). Dense, malty flavor,  brown sugar, and pumpkin spice abound, and if you focus, you may detect the hint of smokiness in this big beer.

Drink this like Joel tackles life. With vigor. With freedom. With a designated driver.
