Punkless Dunkel

DARK WHEAT ALE WITH PUMPKIN  FLOODWATER SERIES

When we set out to create what we hoped would be a unique pumpkin beer, we decided to brew an imperial version of our Dunks Ferry Dunkelweizen as the base. From there, we added pumpkin puree to the mash along with more than a dash of all the classic pumpkin pie spices right into the kettle. Dark brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice all pair perfectly with the banana esters and spicy clove notes imparted by the yeast during its vigorous fermentation. The rich malty body, somewhat sweet character, and warm finish make Punkless Dunkel our go-to brew as Autumn comes into view.
