Another challenging layered offering from the limited edition Abstrakt series. As usual the engaging dark tastes are there – raisins, prunes, blackberries, tobacco and chocolate. No one does the dark end of the beer taste spectrum like BrewDog Abstrakt. The nose also had a hint of cherry cola and molasses. A touch of sourness emerges as the beer warms up. A nice chalky dry finish. A slightly thin body and almost non-existent carbonation are characteristics of most Abstrakts, but they aren’t necessarily assets. Another good one, but not a home run.

Old rating from May 2017 - A gift from my wife & stored in my cellar for the last year and a half. It was far better than I expected, been the most power full beer I've had in my collection. It pours a dark red black colour with no head. Aromas of bourbon, rum, wood & roasted malt. Tastes of caramel, plum, bourbon, rum, licorice, wood & roasted malt. Aftertaste is of a mild bitterness with plum & rum. Excellent interesting Saison from Brewdog

Well stored bottle. Dark brown body without any head. Aroma has malt, dry fruit, soy and alcohol. Flavor like aroma, quite boozy and alcoholic. Mostly one dimensional and boozy, not very elegant.

(Bottle) Dark brown colour with brief, foamy bubbles. Malty, spicy nose with notes of caramel, treacle-toffee, liquorice, star anise, coconut, vanilla, wood and a touch of bourbon. Malty, spicy taste with caramel, liquorice, star anise, vanilla, doughnuts, cacao, coconut, wood aged rum, raisins, treacle and a sweet and vinous finish with a mild bitterness. Full body, quite sweet. It's hard to pin this down as a saison, but it's quite powerful and complex, and really tasty. Very nice.

Historic rating from the end of 2015. 375ml bottle. Pours near black with a slim beige head. Aroma: dark malts, caramel, toffee, dark berries, cocoa, sherry barrel. Taste: moderate to heavy sweet, raisins, figs, dates, vanilla, brown sugar, candy sugar, just a smidge of saison yeast detectable. Full bodied, light carb, warming semi dry finish. Super complex but it's a stretch to call it a saison
