ALLAGASH HAUNTED HOUSE

Haunted House by Allagash is a unique addition to the world of specialty beers, standing out with its intriguing blend of flavors and seasonal charm. Crafted in Maine, this pumpkin beer offers a distinctive profile with a 6.66% ABV, infusing traditional pumpkin notes with a hint of malt richness that's perfect for autumnal sipping. The modest 40 IBU ensures a balanced bitterness that complements rather than overwhelms, allowing the subtle spices to come to the fore. As you take your first sip, expect a medley of warm spices interwoven with a smooth malt backbone. This beer's character embodies the essence of fall, with pumpkin flavors that are both earthy and slightly sweet, without venturing into the overly saccharine territory often found in similar styles. It's a beer that invites contemplation, best enjoyed as the leaves start to turn and the air takes on a crisp edge. To fully appreciate Haunted House, serve it slightly chilled at around 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows the depth of flavors to shine, enhancing its inviting aromas. A tulip glass is ideal for this beer, capturing its aromatic complexity while also showcasing its amber hue. Pair it with roasted poultry, hearty stews, or an array of cheeses like brie and aged cheddar to create a delightful synergy on the palate. Whether you're a seasoned beer aficionado or new to pumpkin beers, Haunted House offers an inviting exploration of seasonal ingredients and artisanal brewing. Its balanced profile and nuanced flavors make it an excellent choice for those looking to embrace the cooler months with a beer that's as comforting as it is intriguing.
