*Heavy Seas The Great Pumpkin is out on the streets, ca. $6 a bomber where I saw it yesterday. Still at least some Prosit out there as well. Winter Storm is also rolling out as well in six-packs.
Oh, and how IS it? Scary, but in a good way. It's neither totally over-the-top, in-your-face pumpkin pie with alcohol (like some pumpkin beers out there) nor a beer where if you dig around a bit,you uncover some pumpkin-pie-like spice (like others I've had). This is exquisitely balanced between those two extremes. And NO WAY does it taste like it's 10% abv. It's packed with malt and "pumpkin" (I hesitate to think just what anyone uses to duplicate pumpkin early--butternut squash? canned pumpkin?), but has a much drier body and finish than one would expect for both the style and alcohol.
*They will be selling beer at the Fells Point Fun Festival this weekend.

Very curious to try the tripel "Yule Tide" when it's released.
I remember asking Ernie back in May at the brewery, if they'd ever consider brewing a Belgian tripel style. He just smiled and said, "we just might."
btw, here's the official page with all of their "Mutiny Fleet" lineup, including the Yule Tide:

Also, lots (and I mean LOTS) of Big DIPA available at Honeygo Wine & Spirits.
