Rock Art Vermonster

Brewed by Rock Art Brewery
Style: Barley Wine
Morrisville, Vermont USA

22 ounce bottle shared with and provided by cdumler. Thanks! Pours dark brown and hazy, like mud, with a moderate head. Caramel, toffee. hops and tart fruity notes in the aroma. Taste is nuts, lots of nuts, caramel, toffee and bitter hops. Full bodied.

Pours a hazy deep brownish amber colour with a medium beige head that dimples as it fades with good retention. There is nice lacing left in concentric rings as well. The nose is laced with grapefruit hops, pine resin, toffee, vinous malts and dates. The flavour is intensely hoppy, but not very enjoyable. The diacetyl is out of control, with toffee madness that crosses the boundary from tasty town to offensive land. There are some citric notes, pine bitterness, some caramel, vinous malts, BOOZE, overly fragrant hops that are perceptually vegetal plastic. The body is watery, the carbonation is weak and the ethanol presence is overt and offensive. This is why barley wines are usually at the bottom of my list in terms of preference of style. They are either amazing or awful. Ugah

(22 oz. bottle) Pours a deep amber body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, raisins, and roasted malt. Flavor of roasted malt, hops (citrus), caramel malt, and fruitiness with a bitter finish.

murked up deep red brown with a nice non lasting head. smeels like samps, grass, and citrus. tastes like old dark fruit, lots of hops, mainly citrusy stuff with a rose like mint. a bit thick and enjoyable. fruit notes come in late and linger.

Sampled at Big Pour Mesa, AZ. This one seemed more DIPA than their DIPA. Dark honey color with a thin eggshell ring for a head. Floral hops dominate the nose. Definite lemongrass present although it also possesses an underlying malty sweetness. Not cloying...ample carbonation. Good beer.

22 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber with a small head. Aroma is mainly malt with a hint of citrus and pine. Flavor is citrus, mainly grapefuit, caramel malts, pine.

Bomber. Pours brown with no carbonation. Smells of pine tar, caramel, raisins, metal, soap. Tastes bitter with plastic, pine resin dominating. Messy and overdone.

thanx to Sammy for this one. reddish brown, decent tan foam, nose is hops, very citrus and pine. flavor is hoppy as well but nice sweet malts and alcohol make this one well rounded and drinkable
