Oak Jacked by Uinta Brewing is a 10.31% ABV Imperial Pumpkin Ale Aged in Oak Barrels. So far this one struck gold. Of all the best pumpkin beers out there, this one came in 1st for complexity. This right next to my top picks like Smashed Pumpkins by Shipyard, Good Gourd by Cigar City, La Parcela by Jolly Pumpkin, and Pumking by Southern Tier is the best by far :P.
Label:
of pumpkin and spices. Aged in oak barrels, Jacked is wound and ready to play.
Pairs well with flavors of the season.Â
So where do I begin with how complex this beer is. Well… Here it goes. As best as I can describe it. IT smells like pumpkin, bourbon, coconut and bananas. The flavors are all jacked up. Literally. They are all over the place. I get some sweet potato/yam, piloncillo (Mexican Sugar Block), milk, coconut, matured bananas, bread, bourbon, candy corn, roasted pumpkin seeds, caramel, vanilla, nutmeg, pumpkin pie with bananas in the middle, graham crackers, cinnamon, oak wood, plantain bitterness, citrus, raisins and some plums. Almost like if the made this beer as a Belgian Barrel Aged Imperial Pumpkin master piece. This beer not only brings about what the sweet side of a pumpkin would be but also its vegetable bitterness to it. Quite the treat 😛 and epic at that. Pick it up at Total Wine while it lasts… XP
