Name: Brewdog’s Storm
Origin: Scotland
Style: IPA (Islay Oak Aged – 8.0%)
Appearance: The beer is not very clear and a pale, yellow colour. Nice medium head that lasts quite some time.
Taste: The smell of the oak aging is very apparent in this IPA. It resonates strong flavours of oak and hickory smoke, plus something else that reminded me of, no word of a lie, insect repellent. The beer finishes smokey, piney and leaves an odd aftertaste. The high ABV is apparent in this ale.
Mouth Feel: Hard to comment on this. The aftertaste is strangely unpleasent, though the beer itself is not hard to drink. Not overly filling and not very sharp for such a high ABV beer.
Final Thoughts (2.0 out of 5): I did not enjoy this beer very much, though for what it is worth it was pretty unique. This beer sent me back into the summers of my youth spent camping; Trees, campfires and bug spray…
