Sam Adams Fat Jack Double Pumpkin

Spotted this yesterday and felt compelled to pick up a 22 ouncer. It pours a deep orange, as befits a pumpkin ale, with a hefty beige head. It's pretty heavy with spices - nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla, as well as hints of dark fruits such as figs, raisins and plums. A very solid autumn brew, kind of like a pumpkin flavored Oktoberfest. The heat from the 8% ABV is very evident, but not distracting. This may be right up there with Weyerbacher's Imperial Pumpkin. Good stuff - I believe that I'll have another.
