A strong ale, brewed with guarana, Californian poppy, kola nut and Scottish heather honey. A conspiracy of trans-continental ingredients infused with some devastatingly BrewDog imaginative thinking.

BREWER'S TIP

Brewers Tip Icon

Get really good quality heather honey, the more aromatic the better. Honey is 100% fermentable, but it does have a huge influence on the ester profile of the beer – in this case high floral esters.
