Sink the Bismarck! is beer, amplified. With the volume turned full up, it is important you that you be careful with this beer and show it the same amount of sceptical, tentative respect you would show an international chess superstar, clown or gypsy. Sink the Bismarck is a quadruple IPA that contains four times the hops, four times the bitterness and frozen four times to create at a staggering 41% ABV. This is IPA amplified, the most evocative style of the craft beer resistance with the volume cranked off the scale. Kettle hopped, dry hopped then freeze hopped for a deep fruit, resinous and spicy aroma. A full out attack on your taste-buds ensues as the incredibly smooth liquid delivers a crescendo of malt, sweet honey, hop oils and a torpedo of hop bitterness which lasts and lasts.

    It is time......... To Sink the Bismark..... time to get wasted. Glowing brown hints of orange no cap are we suprised? Aroma is awsome so strong..... toffee, soya, nostrils are burning in a good way. This beer leaves massive legs. Wow what did I taste. Big hot flavour. Hops maybe but not really. Big malt carmel, I can taste alcholol but really are we suprised. This way better then expected, its drinkable. Soya burnt sugar, warmth. IIPA no....... big massive barly wine yes. I like this alot.

    Guess, hot! yes this beer is alcoholic. Drank at BrewDog Camden. I support the manifesto! This beer though, deep red, lots of pine and slight pepper on the nose. If we judge the beer by the expectations set out in the brewers tasting notes, (assault the senses), then yes, perfect score. Don't know how to rate this beer, because not just any brewer could produce this, especially with so much carbonation. Will not drink again though...

    Pours out in a shiny clear reddish amber colour with a snall creamy whute head. Big dense aroma of resin, caramel and peppery alcohol. Full-bodied with hot sticky flavours of resin, caramel, over-riped oranges, alcohol and burnt sugar. Long hot and sticky finish of resin, candied oranges and apricots, big time pine, burnt sugar and quite hot booze. Crazy stuff but we have to take a nap now.

    This is nothing more than an attempt to set a record (which at the time of brewing was accomplished) because it's not an attempt at making a good beer. Everything about this beer cries "I'm a whicky wannabee - save me!" The alcohol is way over the top in this one (and considering that beer is 99% water when the alcohol is removed - too much alcohol is not a good thing) and dominates any flavour the original IIPA would have had. Not a beer I would recommend to anybody. I've had a lot of beer, and whisky in my 70 years on earth, and this is one of the worst attempts I've ever seen!

    The beer was a translucent golden red with no head. The aroma was alcohol, pine, and hops. The mouthfeel was full bodied with no carbonation and burned going down. The flavour was citrusy hops and tons of alcohol.

    Bottle: words fail me. I haven’t the ability to describe the ecstatic experience a beer geek’s palate goes through when it meets this glorious elixir. All I come up with is; intense, crazy hopping but balanced with super rich malting, peaches, citrus, malt to the max....like a west coast DIPA liqueur. For the price, I’d rather buy a bottle of this than malt scotch...this is the most intense IPA you will ever encounter.

    a massive beer! .. . pours a beautiful maple syrup , light headring with legs of a fine cognac .. . aroma of fresh buckets of tree sap and fresh squeezed hops with a touch of bark .. . Coats The Mouth!!! .. very hot in the throat, like 120 proof uncut backyard bourbon; jesus, you can feel a buzz after 3 sips... . nothing like it on earth .. . honored to have tried it, a bottle by myself was awesome, lightman would have loved it, it was like drinking a whole case of IIPA's in one glass .. . No. No, I'm sorry, I don't know the number to, uh, my savings account because believe it or not I don't spend my entire day sitting around trying to memorize the fucking numbers to my fucking bank accounts! Moron!

    330 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 41%. Sold as "spirits / hard liquor" ( 4 cl shots) in Norway. Deep reddish orange to amber colour, No head, nor any carbonation. Aroma of piney and catty American hops, hints of fusel alcohols and red berries. The flavour is very sweet, very bitter and loaded with alcohol. Not good.
