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.

Ruby colour, small beige head. Aroma has toffee, vanilla, rye bread. Light to medium-bodied. Lots of fudge, rye, some alcohol, easy maltyness, smooth palate. Like BAs often, feels quite thin for its ABV. Clean, welldone.

Bottle from BrewDog online store. Indeed a great Rye IPA. The basic version was great but BA is tiny little bit better and presenting extra softening vanilla touch. Great.

Bottle, medium bubbly light mocha head, clear dark red color, aroma of vanilla and fruit, flavor of vanila and ripe fruit, flavor of vanilla, over ripe oranges and some dried fruits and plums, light grapefruit bitterness, noticable sweetness. Nice but much too oaky for me.

33cl bottle from Alko. Poured deep mahogany in color, thin white head. Lots of rye in the aroma, malts, some sweetness and caramel. Full bodied, bit sticky. Rye bread, barrel and sweetness in the long finish.

Nice fiery amber, cherries, strawberries, oak, iodine and lots of caramel, semi sweet nose. Nice oak, good caramel, but too dry which puts it off balance. Still not bad hr could be more refined

On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Brownish coloured, minimal off-white head, distinct rye and wood in the nose. Sweet rye and wood taste with noticable alcohol and some caramel. Woody finish.
