COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Sink the Bismarck! is beer, amplified. With the volume turned full up, it is important you that you be careful with this beer and show it the same amount of sceptical, tentative respect you would show an international chess superstar, clown or gypsy. Sink the Bismarck is a quadruple IPA that contains four times the hops, four times the bitterness and frozen four times to create at a staggering 41% ABV. This is IPA amplified, the most evocative style of the craft beer resistance with the volume cranked off the scale. Kettle hopped, dry hopped then freeze hopped for a deep fruit, resinous and spicy aroma. A full out attack on your taste-buds ensues as the incredibly smooth liquid delivers a crescendo of malt, sweet honey, hop oils and a torpedo of hop bitterness which lasts and lasts.

Grumbo (19917) - Ipswich, Suffolk, ENGLAND - OCT 31, 2021
UPDATED: NOV 11, 2021 11/11/2021. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours dark maroon amber with no head. Aroma of wood, burnt toffee, dried fruits, malt bread, molasses, alcohol, touch of aniseed and pine. Syrupy sweetness with harsh heartburn bitterness. Full body, sticky texture, low carbonation. Can’t really say I enjoyed it, even as a slow sipper it was just too much.

3.3
Beese (17096) - Tooting, London, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 24, 2020
UPDATED: SEP 24, 2020 Measure from a bottle at Beer Temple, Amsterdam on 15/02/2011. I really liked TNP, but this wasn’t quite as good. Interestingly, when IPA is freeze distilled, it seems to get this abundant aniseed flavour to it. That was pretty much the dominant thing, but once I adjusted to it, it became quite pleasant. Not quite something I’d want to have all the time, but an interesting experiment.

zvsn (9831) - ISRAEL - AUG 18, 2020
UPDATED: AUG 18, 2020 Bottle (110ml) at a tasting. Clear amber. Aroma of alcohol, medicine, herbs, old hops, caramel, toasted malt. Sweet, salty, alcoholic, burning, medicinal, bitter, notes of herbs and malt. Medium-bodied, flat. Crazy stuff, not my cup of tea.

3.6
melush (14632) - SPAIN - APR 7, 2020
UPDATED: APR 7, 2020 33cl Bottle @ 32GreatPower, Seville, Spain. Dark brown colour with no head. Aroma is malt, sweet, dried fruits, alcohol. Taste is malt, caramel, raisin, licorice, alcohol. Full body, soft carbonation.

4.7
janubio (1790) - SPAIN - FEB 26, 2019
UPDATED: DEC 30, 2021 Shot glass at The Situation. Black colour, nothing to say about the head and lacing because of the shot glass. Aroma is sweet, raisins, muscatel, molasses, and resins. Full body, creamy texture, sweet and hoppy finish. Taste is completely different, hops and resins dominating, but there's raisins, molasses and muscatel. Alcoholic, sweet, bitter. Great, but you can't think of it as a beer, even an extremen beer.
