Brewdog Tactical Nuclear Penguin Stout 32% 2 x 11cl / Double Whisky Casked

This is a a very interesting offering from pseudo-anarchic Scottish brewers, Brewdog. At the time of bottling in 2009, this was the Guinness World Record-holding strongest beer ever bottled, at 32%. The previous record being held by German beer brand, Schorschbraer, with 31%.

The beer is an Imperial Stout, taking its Penguin themed name from the "antarctic" levels of cold it was exposed to in the maturation process, spending a 3 week period stored at -20 degrees at a local ice cream factory in order to drive up the ABV.

Prior to this extreme chilling, the beer was matured for 16 months in whisky barrels, one an ex-Arran cask, and the other from an undisclosed Islay distillery.

The bottle comes equipped with a stopper for resealing purposes as this should certainly not be consumed in one sitting.
