beer tasting
back to some heavy hitting beers for the next instalment of "what i drank on my lost saturday"
brew dog tokyo
i mean, why not add an 18% beer into our afternoon?
glad it was just a small bottle to split between four people!
This imperial stout is brewed with copious amounts of speciality malts, jasmine and cranberries. After fermentation we then dry-hop this killer stout with a bucketload of our favourite hops before carefully ageing the beer on French toasted oak chips.
It is all about moderation. Everything in moderation, including moderation itself. What logically follows is that you must, from time, have excess. This beer is for those times."
(feel like maybe they should proof-read their copy, particularly if they've been imbibing in the tokyo before doing the write up!)
"BrewDog BrewSheet
ABV: 18.2%
OG: 1140
IBU’s: 90
Malts: Marris Otter, Dark Crystal, Caramalt, Chocolate Malt, Roast Barley
Hops: Galena
Twist: Brewed with Jasmine and Cranberries. Dry-Hopped then aged on oak chips."
what isn't going on in this beer?
boozey, complex, deep and dark
hoppy, fruity, heavy
not something i want to drink a lot of, or often
but gosh darn it, i really like it
too bad its now being taxed as a spirit and costs more than i am willing to fork out
this one will just have to remain a special imported treat
the fabulous ryan brought back some fine beers from his recent sojourn in las vegas
stone brewing's belgo anise imperial russian stout certainly did not disappoint
a licorice stout - how delightful!
such a strong malt base totally hid the belgian yeast from my leery mouth
and what a head!
hoppy, stouty, licoricey, not belgiany, not overwhelmingly boozey - its a winner!
i would love to have another bottle of this to age for a year or two...
10.5%, 56 ibus, warrior hops
"This 2011 Odd Year release pours pitch black with a deep tan head, with aromatic notes of anise, coffee, and cocoa jumping from the glass. Coffee and dark roasted malt flavors dominate, with a robust complement of anise and oak, which leave a lingering blend of vanilla, licorice, and dark malt on the palate. This one will age nicely for several years."

"The irony of existentialism, the parody of being and the inherent contradictions of post-modernism, all so delicately conveyed by the blocky, pixelated arcade action have all been painstakingly recreated in this bottles contents.
