Sorry about the picture, it is pretty rubbish. You can just about make out that it's a picture of Brewdog's Dogma, a rather odd beer brewed with guarana, poppy seeds and kola nuts along with Scottish heather honey. The beer is big, not only because it comes in a large 660ml bottle but it is also just shy of 8% ABV.
This beer might be more popularly known by it's original name of Speedball but that was shelved due it's name being a drug cocktail. I'm not sure where I stand on that sort of thing. I can see the sense of naming the beer speedball but I don't see how naming something after a drug cocktail is likely to make the kids want to try such a thing. Anyone who drinks the beer in question is likely to be quite happy getting their kicks from alcohol and probably in a very responsible way as well.
Anyway I found the beer rather boring. There was just too much herbal tea and not enough beer for me. I also don't see the point of the guarana to be honest but then I don't get red bull either, a product I think is far more dangerous to ones health than beer. Thin and somewhat boozy and tasted like a mix of herbal tea. I did not dislike it, I just did not see the point and see no reason to drink it again.
Had a very similar experience with this, though I didn't dislike it as much as I did Bitch Please. Punk IPA all the way!
