This time they teamed up with the 3 Floyds guys, yes the ones that make a beer called Dark Lord that creates a queue to buy some like a queue for U2 tickets.
The aroma is pretty much like a Scotch. Peaty and woody. There is a little dried fruit in there too but the peat is fairly strong. The taste? Well if I described it as a fizzy water scotch it might not make it sound to appealing would it? While that is essentially what it tastes like, it does it very well and I loved it. The earthy peaty flavours were some of the best I have ever come across in a beer.
If I had a choice between a glass of Bitch Please and a peated scotch, I would probably take the Bitch Please to be honest.
I thought this the perfect beer to sit at a roaring fire when the weather is cold and nasty outside and just sit around with the TV off, perhaps reading a book and sipping away for an hour or more.
The name does not go with that image though.
I was really excited about trying this, given that I like a lot of BrewDog's output, and love heavily peated whisky. Seriously disappointed when I tried it on draught though; I thought it was a really poor beer - Very unbalanced, crude flavours, and very thin mouthfeel. It seemed to be all over the show really.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, it's not a beer I would have even thought would make it to the keg.
