Alltech: Kentucky Pumpkin Barrel Ale

Industrial super complex Alltech has been planning to take over the world against Superman for what feels like decades. Attacks on our modern computer system, buying airlines and colluding with oil companies to raise gas prices, buying the Daily Planet to control the media, and all around mayhem are just every day activities for Alltech.
Apparently one part of their plan to destroy Superman is through his other weakness, Pumpkin Beers. Let's face it, Clark Kent enjoys sweater weather, and what goes better with the leafs changing in Metropolis than a nice warm feeling pumpkin beer. The problem is, it takes like 50 beers to throw Superman off his game, and Lex Luther know it. So what did he do? He came up with a beer that was much stronger than the ordinary pumpkin beer, but equally as drinkable as beers half the strength.
Kentucky Pumpkin Barrel Ale has strongs smell of wood in the nose. The head quickly fades in my snifter that they recommend I use. (Maybe another even more secret plan that I don't even understand?) The taste is very upfront bourbon, with vanilla and woody tones in the front and cinnamon carrying up the back. The finish is dry and easy with the strong booze from the bourbon leaving a nice linger at the end of the sip. Realizing the trap, Clark decides to light up a cigar, sit back and sip rather than pound them back. Plan foiled.
Wait, sorry, I was thinking of Lexcorp, I have no idea who Alltech is. Quick google search and they're a distillery and brewery company in Kentucky, but their world domination plans are unknown at this time. Either way, it's a nice beer to sit back and sip on a chilly patio somewhere.
