A little something to drool over, especially if you are a fan of barrel aged beers. Weyerbacher Brewing (Easton, PA) Rhumpshaka.
The brewery took an 11% abv beer brewed with mostly pilsner malt and a touch of oats, and aged it for 9 months in 12 year old rum barrels. (Some date back to 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.
“Rhum” is the old world way of spelling rum. Production is limited to 90 cases of 750ml bottles.
Style: American Strong Ale (Barrel Aged. Rum)
Availability: 750ml Bottles
Arrival: April, 2014
11% ABV

Back in November, we mentioned that Georgia based Richland Rum has expanded. Then the same token, we mentioned that a local brewery might be sourcing rum barrels for a new beer.
Now, we aren’t saying these are Richland Rum barrels (yet), but it is a little coincidental. Red Brick Brewing is currently sourcing barrels for their next Brick Mason release, Three Bagger Tripel. Once the barrels are in place, the brewery will age Three Bagger in rum barrels.
