A special #beersaturday beer for Hive’s birthday celebration 🎉
A beer so bombastic with flavour, it came with its own gum shield!
A beer so bad-ass, I felt the need to remove all the colour from the cover photo, just incase your eyes explode.
A beer so strong, just a whiff would make Chuck Norris flinch.
This beer is so dark, it makes it’s own foam quiver.
Amundsen, Birthday Cake Celebration
Madagascar bourbon vanilla, Rocky road fudge cake, barrel aged stout.
Of all the barrel aged stouts, I think this one is the strongest I’ve tasted. Amundsen are absolute ninjas when it comes to hiding the alcohol behind complex levels of flavour. Their imperial stouts are legendary for this. But the gloves are most certainly off with this one! Not so much ninja, more like a full on Mongol assault!
The flavours are exceptional, deep, layered, indulgent, and very very moreish. But don’t get too comfortable, because this is a place where brain cells come to die. A once-a-year-beer for sure, but let’s enjoy it for being just that. Over flavoured, over boozy, and waaay over the top.
What’s not to love about that? It is your birthday after all, right?
Madagascar bourbon vanilla, Rocky road fudge cake, barrel aged stout?!?! Man that beer has everything but the kitchen sink! At 11.2% ABV no wonder mommas gonna knock me out.
I guess when you set out to brew the most outrageous beer and toss aside any standard styles, you might as well go big and celebrate with cake.
🤣🤣 this is their standard style 🤪
If it were anyone but Amundsen doing this I’d be cautious (no I wouldn’t, I’m a sucker for them really 🤣). Amundsen do have a talent for this type of beer though.
Haha there is something special about a brewery that just goes over the top as a norm. You might like Flying Monkeys brewery over here if you ever visit.
It's the dessert stouts that always get my attention. When it comes to IPA, I can't resist a good NEIPA, the stronger the better 🙂
Will have to check Flying Monkey! Love the name. Maybe one day I'll do an international brewery tour, sure the Mrs won't mind 🤪
When you do, and you make your way to Canada, I will show you the best
Sounds more like a desert than a beer.
I had something like this and it shows what beer can be. Something totally different as the light yellow drink most of the people know.
Thanks for the cool story
Thanks for dropping by! It makes a great change from the refreshing drink we're used to. Definitely one for sipping.
Oh, This beer is really strong, huh!? So after you drink this beer it's gonna knock you down, haha. The beer can have a nice design 😀But anyway, it's your day, so enjoy the bad-ass beer! Cheers! Happy Birthday!!!
Very strong, about 13% I think 😝 I do love these dessert beers and whenever I drink them I always have a pack of chocolate biscuits to dip with. I am a glutinous soul.
That's a rich pairing. Chocolate biscuits and strong beer. You've got indulgence down to an art.😀
OMG 😂 hahahaha, Nice one!
