Name: Old World India Pale Ale
Brewer: BrewDog (Fraserburgh, Scotland)
Classification: English India Pale Ale
Alcohol: 7.5%
Thoughts: It wasn't until I read the back of the bottle that I realized that this beer is from the crazy guys at BrewDog. These Scottish beer rebels make insane beers and do insane things. Well, this isn't really an insane idea for once. The decided to make some beers in the style of the Old World. This is one of those. This Old World India Pale Ale pours a dark brown-auburn color that lays beneath a perfectly even and balanced head. The smell is vibrant with notes of biscuit, toffee and cinnamon. Then I took a few sips and something didn't seem right. It was bitter and harsh with notes of malts, coffee and a subtle sweetness that didn't do a whole to enhance this beer. This is a very traditional beer with very traditional ingredients. It is a good beer, but I must admit that beer is like wine, it gets better with age.
Rating: 83/100
