A warped version of Albino Squid Assassin, this super exclusive small batch beer sees us amp up the rye character to the max.
This red rye IPA has spent six months sequestered in rye whiskey barrels, drawing incredible toasty, spicy and oaky flavours from the wood.
The hops have softened and morphed from pithy citrus to ripe autumn fruit, while the malt base has picked up cinder toffee and cinnamon. An incredibly deep and complex IPA.

Draught, 9.2% at Brewdog St. Pauli. Distinct vanilla aroma. Seemingly clear dark brown colour. Stable off-white head. The flavour starts off with a good vanilla note. Turns roasted with a fairly high bitterness and a bitter alcohol bite. Bitter finish.

Smell of hops, rye. Bronze colour, beige head. Aroma of hops, rum, vanilla, burnt sugar, some rye bread in finish. Sweet, lightly bitter. Sort of weird, but functioning combo of flavours. Candy-like. Lively carbon.

A really malty full bodied beer, not too bitter, not sweet but yet a really bold mouthfeel. Brewdog Helsinki

(Bottle, 0.33 l - BB 01.04.2021,from Alko, 20191003) The beer poured deep reddish brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and nearly white. Aroma had malts, caramel, vanilla and alcohols. Palate was full bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were vanilla, wood, sweetness, caramel, alcohols and bitterness. Aftertaste had vanilla, sweetness and bitterness. A boozy brew with strong barrel effects. Not pleasant.

Tap @ Brewdog Tallinn. Pours amber, relatively clear copper with some white bubbles on the top. Nose has caramel, some faded hops (but you can feel there was quite a lot of them). Hop jam character which I have felt also before with barrel aged IPA's. Spicy taste, barrel booze is coming through, some serious bitterness going through and through. Sipper, some resins and hop oils lingering in the bitter finish,
