Modern Monks Pumpkin Bomb Pumpkin Pie Ale

Modern Monks, a fine Lincoln brewery associated with Misty's Steakhouse here in Lincoln has been flying under the radar beer-wise. Mainly due to being available for so long only in the restaurants. With the cans now being available in fine liquor and grocery stores (and those not-so-fine as well) for some time now. Modern Monks is marching into the spotlight. It seems to me that the best pumpkin ales out there have vanilla in the recipe somewhere. Autumn Bomb has some roasted pumpkin, spices as well as molasses and vanilla. The vanilla gives it a creamy smoothness, while the molasses adds a heavy sweetness that makes it perfect for cool evenings around Samhain.
