Scotch Irish Perry’s Atomic Punkin

Cask at Volo Cask Days 2007. Dark orange-amber with a small head. Aroma is sweet, spicy (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove) with fresh pumpkin and hops. Flavour has a hint of pumpkin off the top, followed by a prominent spiciness, some wood and lemon, and a warm, herbal finish. Pretty nice stuff.

Cask. At Volo Casks Days ’07. Hazy orange-copper pour, average head. Aroma of caramel malt and fresh pumpkin, always nice to smell a pumpkin beer that isn’t just pie spices ... also had mild cinnamon/nutmeg spiciness and some dry hops ... smelled like a "Belgian" yeast, but what do I know about that stuff? The taste was simpler than the aroma, more bitter, pungent spice, less of the vegetalbe pumpkin character, had a nice herbal finish. I found the body quite thick, not much carbonation but who cares - and a long pungent dry spicy finish. Very very good, it paled a little as I’d had the Southern Tier Pumking the day before, but better than the other Ontario Pumpkins, that’s for sure.

Cask at ’Volo Cask Days ’07’. Pours a cloudy orange-amber with a spare diminishing off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, pumpkin and spices. Flavour seems a little boozy which is odd for a 6% beer. Sweet malt, spices and a somewhat bitter finish. Good body for the style. Just O.K.

Cask days 2007. Great beer . Maybe a bit heavy on the spice and too syruppy, but maybe im just being picky. I enjoyed both this and the Great Lakes Pumpkin, but I think I like the Great lakes one a little bit more.

Had it atVolo cask Days 2007. Great pumpkin spice aroma and JUST the right amount of pumpkin flavor to keep me wanting more.

Cask. Orange-copper body with a still white ring of head. The aroma is very spicey with lots of cinnamon, ginger, and pumpkin. Tastes pretty good - biscuity, with tonnes of pleasant spices, and oranges. I noted some pumpkin but it wasn’t really the dominant flavour. This stuff was very smooth and drinkable.

At Volo cask Days 2007. Brown, a few bubbles in the head. Good malt, spice, alcohol aroma. Taste is a little syrupy sweet - there is pumpkin and spices here, but I think they would have been better served maybe at 5%? I dunno, for 6% , i found it boozy for some reason. Anyway, I enjoyed it, and am thankful Perry continues to cater to us beer folks by brewing up these interesting one-off’s.

Amber brown body, headless. Strongly spicey aroma, hints of root beer and a peat like substance, one spice in particular that I can not identify. (7+) Carries over to the flavour with lots of spice and only mild pumpkin. Nice but it becomes overwhelming after a while. Full bodied for a cask but a bit under carbonated.
