A strong ale, brewed with guarana, Californian poppy, kola nut and Scottish heather honey. A conspiracy of trans-continental ingredients infused with some devastatingly BrewDog imaginative thinking.

Flaske 0,33l fra Systembolaget, Kiruna. Mørkebrun. Drukket hjemme 5 Mai 12. Høyt luftig skum som fester seg til glasset og varer lenge. Nydelig utseende. God fruktaroma. Litt ubestemmelig søt blomsterduft. Myk munnfølelse. Et anderledes øl. Syrlig bitterhet i avslutninga.

330 ml bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours clear dark amber with a big frothy white head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of thick lacing on the glass. Smell is sweet, slightly floral and tiny metallic with caramel, honey, vanilla, fudge, orange peal and hints of milk chocolate, very ripe tropical fruits and marzipan. Taste is sweet and bitter with caramel, honey, jelly beans, orange peal, silage, vanilla toffee, bread, ginger and lemon zest. Mouthfeel is oily bitter, sticky sweet and light to medium bodied. Finish is slightly sweet and bitter with oily pine, grass, orange peal, honey and hints of bread and toffee. More weird than good but still not that bad of a beer.

Oct 2010: The best BrewDog beer I’ve had so far (out of eight). Brown 330ml bottle, just out of date (best before 15 Sept, drank and reviewed 22 Oct). The first beer in one of my random reviewing evenings, poured into a ’Corsendonk’ badged stemmed tulip glass. Light hazey body of dark amber with an off-white head that left some lacing as I downed the beer. If I hadn’t known better I’d have guessed Belgian from start to finish. It just seemed so Belgian, the aroma was of Belgian yeasts with a faint hint of sweetness. The taste a semi-sweet, medium bodied beer that just gave a trace of honey flavours before a mini bitterness appeared as the mouth dries. Very, very drinkable.

330ml Bottle - Copper with a foamy head. Caramel, nuts, spicy malt, marzipan and hops in the aroma. Nutty, malty and moderately bitter taste with notes of walnuts, honey, grapefruit and tea. More interesting than great, but certainly not that bad. Doesn’t taste as strong as it is.

Red amber colour with an off white head. Caramel and hopps in the nose. Hoppy and a fine moderate sweet caramel flavour. Lovely beer.

Bottled:
Pours a deep, copper red colour with a thick head. Sweet toffee aroma with notes of honey. Sweet toffee flavour with notes of peat. Harsh bitterness with notes of alcohol. Very unbalanced. It looks good, smells pretty good but doesn’t taste very good.
