About This Beer

Yep, Hoppin’ Frog’s Barrel-Aged Gavel Slammer has a 17.4% ABV. Your eyes do not deceive you!

It’s a GIANT. Yet, blanketed by rich and roasty caramelized dark malts, all that warming booze is hardly present. So, it’s best to enjoy this BBA Dark Ale — aged in hand-selected whiskey barrels — with slow, smooth sips. Like a fine cognac!

Tasting Notes

Take a silky swig, and flavors of dried fig, rich molasses, and new leather mingle with hints of oak, velvety vanilla, and dried stone fruit. Rivers of cinnamon spice sweep through on the finish, followed by extravagant sensations of dark chocolate-drizzled toffee.

Really smooth for the ABV. Good balance., but body is a little thin.

very bitter with an artificially syrupy aftertaste. I like that’s it’s a high ABV
