Spooky Review – Warlock from Southern Tier

I remember the first time having a Southern Tier Halloween themed beer. I was in NYC with my wife and ordered it. Was enjoying it before a platter of food as big as me arrived and then the beer was kinda forgotten. Years later, I saw an orphan bottle and grabbed it.

Warlock Imperial Pumpkin Stout is a mere 8.6% ABV. It has that American PSL thing going but behind the curtain is a nice and a bit chocolately stout. The pumpkin actually shines through as well as it warms. More gourdy than pie which is a plus in my book.

Harder Pumking

I do my level best to stay seasonally appropriate. You don’t see mentions of Maibock in January or oodles of Oktoberfest posts in Summer. But, I am making an exception for this…..

…because, well 2020 needs more spirits and I think this one could make some fine fall cocktails since Southern Tier knows it’s way around pumpkin spice.

Southern Tier Brewing

The awesome Beer America folks brought this brewery to my attention and now I pay it forward to you…

Southern Tier Brewing is not, I repeat, not in the south. Their home is in Lakewood, New York. They have quite the line-up of beers.. Year-round | Seasonal | Local | Imperial | Ltd Imperial | Seasonal Imperial | Blackwater | Cuvée Series. What intrigued me the most was the Creme Brulee Imperial Milk Stout.
