Tokio Drift (5/10)

 

This imperial stout is brewed with copious amounts of specialty malts, jasmine and cranberries. After fermentation this dry-hop stout is mixed with a load of BrewDog's favorite hops before carefully ageing the beer on French toasted oak chips. Sitting at a staggering ABV of 18.2% this stout will truly knock you back after each sip!

I highly recommend ending your night with this brew rather than starting. Tokio is thick, dark as night and is an absolute all-out barrage on the senses. Booze, booze, coffee, chocolate, malt, dark fruits, black licorice and more booze reeks from the glass in both nose and in taste. It’s thick, syrupy and gives a nice little alcohol burn on the back end.

If you're into having your taste buds crushed and your teeth screaming "whyyyyy!?" then give this guy a try. But in my opinion one was more than enough, as I couldn't even stand another pour, let alone finish my glass. Rated as a 99% on RateBeer.com and 87% on BeerAdvocate.com however, I only give this guy a 5/10.
