Fermented Friday – Winking Lizard Tavern

I had the chance to get some world tour beers tonight. Instead, I went with a local brewery, Hoppin’ Frog. ​

What, it’s dessert again? If I have to, I guess.

Chewy creamy chocolate and molasses body with a lasting spicy chili finish.

P.s. holy frog! 18.8% ABV! #hoppinFrog #barleywine #craftBeer #winterWarmer

Chilly again, back to real winter at 10F. Time to warm up in the sun.

That’s a spicy frog! Peppers start with a kick and mellow into a sweet and caramelly body with a boozy finish. Warmed me up!

Fermented Friday – Winking Lizard Tavern

This month’s visit to Winking Lizard brought home excellent bourbon street steaks after enjoying excellent beers.

The aroma is so laden with alcohol that it made me check the can again to ensure that this was not cask aged.

Fermented Friday – Winking Lizard Tavern

This time, work had me out in Kent for the afternoon, so I made sure to stop by the Lizard and move my tour slowly forward.

My second Pumpking this week. I just love this stuff.

Hopping’ Frog Frog’s Hollow double Pumpkin Ale (2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 345)

Very smooth at first, then the spicy pumpkin flavor hits.

2024 Winking Lizard World Tour Of Beers #70 – Hoppin’ Frog Frog’s Hollow Double Pumpkin Ale 12oz Can (540)

While most pumpkin beers are more about the spice than the pumpkin, Frog’s Hollow lives up to the “double” in “double pumpkin ale”.

First sip is pretty uneventful. There is honey in the beer, and there are grains. There is carbonation, and there is yeast.
