Today we have some exciting new brews coming from Weyerbacher. Up first is Rhumpshaka and it is an ale aged in Rum Barrels. This beer will be packaged in big 750ml bottles & this from Weyerbacher:
Rhumpshaka will be ready for an April release! Available exclusively at the Visitors Center in bottle-conditioned 750 ml format, this beer will not last long! Rhum is the old world/pirate way of spelling rum. Rhumpshaka started life as an almost nondescript 11% ABV beer using 80% Pilsner malt and 20% oats to allow the character of the rum barrels to be the focus. Rhumpshaka spent over 9 months in 12 old rum barrels, some of which were commissioned back in 1982! The resulting beer is unfiltered and has a profound boozy character. Huge coconut and passionfruit-like aromas fill your nose. The heat from the rum is immediately apparent and blends well with the vanilla and coconut flavors, which linger on your palate. It’s a sweeter finish with tannic notes commensurate with extended barrel aging. We’ll only have about 90 cases,
Up next we have the keg label for Tarte Nouveau Ale.
