Brewdog Tactical Nuclear Penguin


Tactical Nuclear Penguin
Brewdog Ltd
Fraserburgh, United Kingdom (Scotland)
32% ABV (HECK YAH!)


C: Clear
H: Rum in color - perfect caramel in color
N: Fruity, Boozy, Alcohol Burn, Toffee Hints

KirkDiggler;
A: Fruity and boozy, warm, alcohol burn, warms to toffee
A: Pours dark carmel / Rum colored. No head, no lacing.
F: Umami and soy, toffee and caramel, smoky, no hop presence.
M: Slick and alcohol burn. You don’t feel it in your mouth, you feel it in your gut.
O: I’m very amazed that beer could ever be like this. I wont compare apples and oranges, but in the realm of high gravity beers, I will agree that TNP has less flavor profile than a Utopias. I still believe that this is a beer. It’s not a scotch or a spirit, but I will drink it as such and would treat it with as much reverence. Long live the Penguin!!
Score: 4.250



The Ferm; Ohh yahhh TNP, ohh how I have waited for the day that I got the honor to try this beer. 1st of all THANK YOU to KirkDiggler for hooking it up with this amazing beer! The legs on this thing are amazing, they line the glass like a fine spirit. HOLY CRAP talk about alcohol burn, yep I feel that go all the way down..to the tummy. This is straight malt, and taste more like a spirit than a beer. The only thing that I have ever had that compares to this is Sam Adam's Utopias. I would take this over Utopia's any day. This was a treat.
Score: 4.255

Overall: 4.2525 (keep in mind that we do not talk about our scores while discussing the beer)
