Rock Art Vermonster

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

Pours a deep orangey hue, forming a light craggy head of foam. Aroma of tropical fruit, grapefruits, and hops. Complete hop bomb, grapefruit goodness. Has a juicy quality, unbelievable beer!

As a Vermonter, I might be a bit biased of the Rock Art brewery, but I think their products are very unique and well made. The Vermonster seems to be their flagship product and just became widely available in the state due to the change of alchohol content allowed to be sold by non liquer licensed companies. This is the beer I buy above all others. Try it with a good Vermont hard cider as well. I think you’ll be impressed!

Swetet carmelized nose, looks dark tan to brown and hazy, sweet on palate, not overly so like the DF head 120 minute, 100 IBUs pleasant rantehr than distracting, nice amount of sugar/malts cover/balance the hops, sweet and dry asrtingent finish, SOLID beer

On tap from a 1/6 barrel keg freshly filled the day before. Pours a simply beautiful dark reddish brown with a thick 1 inch beige/off white head. Heavy, sticky, sweet lacing clings lovingly to the side of the glass. Smells of spicy hops dominate the rich malts. First sip is a hoppy bitterness that is both tangy and biting. The massive hops are paired with a complimenting strong malt backbone creating a creamy milkshake like mouthfeel. Very Nice - Seek this one on tap.

Bomber. Pine tree aroma stands out along with the alcohol on the nose. Amer body with off white head that disapates to a a bacteria swatch under a microscope. Good fruity flavor along with the dry bitterness bit of an IIPA. Rather thin on the malts as the alcohol has a warming affect on the body. Nice chill in the desert this morning good beer. Man that pine and dryness, swwet citrus lft on palate. Lot going on with this brew good stuff.

pours a dark caramel colour .. dark hops and summer fruit aromas .. . some light refined sugar and maple .. . a beautiful beer with lots of mellow syrup sweetness and a high drinkability!!!

22 oz. bomber poured a hazy brown with thin head. Aroma of fruits, bread and hops. The flavor was a ton of malts, doughy and sweet caramel, followed by two tons of hops. I liked the initial malt attack to give this beer real good body, and the citrus and bittering hops just finished it off quite nicely. Full bodied and full of flavor, with a great stickiness. Delicious.

Richmond "industry" gathering. Deep orange amber. Big aroma of earth and citric hops. Rich flavors of caramel malts and solidly earthy hops. Very enjoyable, I liked this quite a bit. The flavors clearly showed well in a big tasting like this one.
