From the brewer
We wondered what would happen if a monstrous pumpkin ale, plump full of spicy gourdiness, were aged in fine fresh rum barrels to add suggestions of delicate oak and candied molasses. Rumpkin is what happened! This first member of the Annual Barrel-Aged Series was brewed with roasted pumpkins from a local Boulder County farm, and spiced with nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger.

Oh wow. This beer had to have been a quarter rum -- the opening was all spirit, sweet and heady. The pumpkin ale character was actually quite well defined and integrated, which makes me think the basic idea is a winner. I just wish this was maybe a little less over-the-top.
