Cooking With Beer: Pumpkin Ale Profiteroles w/Cinnamon Caramel Sauce

It's that time of year again, when the leaves are changing, the morning air is getting crisp, and the shadows grow long.  Winter will soon be here, and that means stouts, barleywines, and porters are not too far away.  But before all that, the harvest ales and pumpkin beers fill the coolers!  Since pumpkin beer is one of my favorites to make, I felt that this recipe just had to be shared.

If you're planning a fall/harvest party, be sure to impress your dinner guests with this craft beer based dessert.

Luckily a good friend of mine has a small pie-pumpkin vine growing in his backyard.  The other night we were discussing the finer sides of playing 8-ball, and in that conversation we got on the topic of pumpkin beers.  Ultimately we got to the fact that I was wanting to tweak my recipe and make another batch soon.  Well, he was kind enough to offer up a few of his orange gourds for the batch!  So, my next step is to hurry up and get to revising my recipe.  Once the beer is done, I think this dessert will soon follow!

Happy Fall!
