Brewdog Hardcore IPA

Brewdog Hardcore IPA
12 November 2009
(Brewdog Brewery)
$7
Looks v similar to the punk ipa
From the cask- warm/room temperture but the alcohol is notable as it warms yr throat
Weird having it this warm-the alcohol comes off as spicey.
It's like drinking wine- the taste, well,,,,,,,
Apricots (dried) and whiskey come to mind- I think this spent some time in a spirit vat........
I just checked the brewers notes & I probably couldn't b more wrong.... Oh well, they mention kiwi fruit and lychee and big caramel notes, still I can't help but think roasted malts.
At this temperture is very reminescent of a malted Irish whiskey, guess I'd like to try this cooled a bit.
How do I rate it then? For my palate not at all sessionable, however for people who like whisky and beer it may be a match made for the heavens.
I'm giving it 5.5
