Brewdog Paradox Isle of Ahran

At 10% alc and having been aged in whiskey casks, this beer was always going to pack a punch.

Note that it doesn't necessarily need to be poured into sake cups bought from a zoo in northern Japan. But it does make it better.

There's a great complex nose on this one due to the bottling / aging process, and a dark head to boot though this dissipated quite early in the piece. I won't lie - I found the alcohol in this one a little overpowering, though it does generate a really long a complex harmony, with the best flavours coming through almost after you've swallowed your mouthful. Coincidentally, that is when your throat starts to tingle also.

Very interesting - my first foray into spirits-cask-aged beers and a good one at that. I'm giving it a 6.0, with Nic backing up with a 7.0.
