Pumpkin Spiced Latte is a creamy, dessert-style ale that combines the warm spice character of a pumpkin ale with the smooth body and coffee kick of a latte. Lactose sugar — a milk sugar that yeast cannot ferment — adds creamy mouthfeel and residual sweetness without contributing to alcohol. Whole coffee beans contribute bold coffee flavor and aroma, while the pumpkin spice blend brings cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger warmth over a clean malt base.

The result is a smooth, full-bodied seasonal ale that balances spice, coffee, and sweetness in a way that's indulgent but still very drinkable.

Brewing your Pumpkin Spiced Latte 5 Gallon Ale follows a straightforward extract brewing process:

Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, add Cluster hops, and dissolve lactose into the wort
Add Coffee & Spices: Add coffee beans and spice blend on brew day, or reserve the spice blend for a bottling-day tincture for stronger spice character
Ferment: Ferment with American ale yeast until clean and fully attenuated
Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks

This process produces a creamy, full-bodied seasonal ale with bold coffee and warm pumpkin spice character.

Liquid yeast can deliver excellent fermentation performance and a wider range of strain options, but it’s a living, perishable product that requires a little extra care.

Liquid yeast may arrive warm. Ice packs help reduce heat exposure but do not guarantee cold arrival.
Refrigerate it when received and plan to brew as soon as possible.
We recommend adding an insulated mailer + ice pack to liquid yeast orders.
During May–September, dry yeast is strongly recommended due to higher shipping temperatures.
Liquid yeast is final sale and cannot be replaced due to heat exposure during transit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in this kit?

This is an ingredients-only recipe kit for brewers who already have their own 5 gallon brewing setup. It includes all the ingredients to brew a 5 gallon batch of Pumpkin Spiced Latte Ale — no equipment included.

Is Pumpkin Spiced Latte a dark beer?

No — and this surprises a lot of people. It's an amber ale with coffee and spice, not a stout or porter. The coffee and spice flavors come through on a malty amber base, not a dark roasted one.

How does this recipe relate to Evil Jack?

Pumpkin Spiced Latte uses the Evil Jack Pumpkin Spice recipe as its base, with lactose and coffee beans added to build the creamy, coffee-forward flavor. If you love Evil Jack, this is the next step up in complexity.

Is this a year-round product?

No — this is a seasonal recipe that comes out once a year in the fall. A 5 gallon batch is a great way to brew enough to share and still have plenty left for yourself.

Can I boost the pumpkin spice intensity on a 5 gallon batch?

Yes. Hold the spice blend back from brew day and make a tincture on day 10 of fermentation — soak the pumpkin spice in 1 oz of vodka in a sealed container. At bottling, stir the tincture into your cooled priming sugar. On a 5 gallon batch this method really lets the spice come through.

How long does a 5 gallon batch take?

Plan for about 4 weeks total — brew day, about 2 weeks of fermentation, and 1–2 weeks of bottle conditioning. Some brewers give it a little longer for best results.
