Brew Dog Brewery's Storm

This brewery is starting to remind me of Stone and all of their "you're not worthy" bullshit. It looks like instead of terribly over-hopping everything like Stone, though, they think you can throw anything in a whisky barrel and it instantly improves it. Not so much.

Pours like a deeper wit--opaque and amber to orange. Almost no head at all.

Smells like a combination of bourbon and that medicinal hand soap that some truck stop restrooms have.

Wow, for people who think they make such bad ass beers, I have to say this one is weak. Sure, it's bitter and tastes like I'm drinking the medicinal hand soap, but it's completely flat and exceptionally weak in body. Odd bitter twang resonates for a little while after the main medicinal taste is gone. The soap taste overpowers the whisky barrel flavor, it's so strong. There's a slight yeasty twang and an almost imperceptible malt.

I drank less of this beer than any other beer I can remember.

It is truly awful.
