Barrel Aged Shame @ Torment
Rocket Frog Brewing Company

I stopped by Rocket Frog on 12/11/22 as it was their closing day. Had a 16 oz draft. I think it was supposed to be a 10 oz pour, but they filled up my glass.
L - Poured a reddish brown color with minimal white head.
S - Smelled of booze and dark fruit.
T - Tastes matches the smell, like of sweet raisins and booze.
F - Medium body and lightly carbonated.
O - Really nice boozy barleywine.

 

 

The beer pours alight white head that dissipates fairly quickly while the beer itself is a hazy brown color that looks pretty nice.

The smell is pretty good. It has a mix of raisins, vanilla, a light bitter hop note, and a good bourbon smell. The dark fruits such as raisins and the hop note start right up front and later give way to the bourbon before the vanilla comes out in the finish.

The taste is good. It has roughly the same notes as the smell but the order of appearance changes things a bit. The bourbon and vanilla notes come up first before warming up and melting away to the raisin and bitter hop taste alongside the vanilla.

The feel is pretty good. It has a heavy body with a slightly thick texture to it and very little carbonation to it.

Overall, this is a good beer worth getting for a nice cool night or the end of the work week.

 

 

On tap at Westover Beer Garden. Barrel aged but not over the top bourbon and not hot. A beautiful clear garnet. A malty English barley wine with a mild hippiness and sedate spirits.
