27. Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale (draft)

This one is tough to review for me as it is certainly not a traditional beer. The aroma on this one is incredible and prepares you well for the taste to come. The beer has a substantial spice flavor while drinking but finishes clean and crisp. Best as an after meal beverage as the taste can be overpowering. This is one of the few Shipyard brews that I look forward to. I had this at TGIFridays again in Auburn.
