About This Beer

This 17.4% ABV monster comes to us from the 5x GABF award-winning Dark Beer experts at Hoppin’ Frog, who quite literally changed the game when it comes to boozy brews.

Originally made in 2016 to commemorate founder and brewmaster Fred Karm’s successful campaign to remove the ABV limit for beer in Ohio, Gavel Slammer serves as a mouthwatering monument to craft beer freedom!

Tasting Notes

Notes of roasty malt swirl together magically with sweet drops of sugary molasses and fine whisky. A subtle kiss of toasted caramel brings all the flavors together and the silky body goes down super smooth.

a bit malty, as you would expect, but surprisingly good for the alcohol content.

This one will knock you on your a** if you aren’t careful. Very dark pour and had to be sipped as a nightcap to enjoy.

Surprisingly not boozy for 17.4%. Ordered this for its novelty. Should’ve bought more.

Dark brown pour, ruby hues around the edges, small bubbly tan head. Aroma is ashy, prunes, brown sugar and a helathy dose of booze. Taste brings the ABV with an in-your-face kick Oncejoy!you get past the burn, there are some wonderfull smoky, amlty flavors there. Sip and enjoy!
