At BrewDog we are selfish. We make the beers we want to drink. Prototype 27 is a batch of only 150 bottles of our most selfish beer yet. This prototype combines Martin and James' favourite things - Hardcore IPA, fresh Scottish Raspberries which is matured in a 1982 Caol Ila Islay whisky cask. The result is a drop dead gorgeous beer, which pours a vibrant and seductive rock 'n roll lip stick red in the glass. The aroma is mesmerising, all sweet, tart raspberry goodness upfront but with the spicy, resinous citrus hops underneath. Another visit reveals something far more sinister, tiny tinges of dark menacing smoke adds a gritty edge to the raspberry surrealness with hints of wooden hospitals and burning pirate ships.
