Black and Tan Experiments #7 - Brewdog 2

Last month I mixed together Brewdog's Hardcore IPA and Riptide for one of my Black and Tan Experiments. Someone commented on that post about waiting for Anarchist/Alchemist to be released, so they could mix it with Tokyo.

I am currently in Brewdog Camden. I have tried this years IPA is Dead range (which I think is better than last years) and Paradox Jura, and I am now sat with a third each of Anarchist/Alchemist and Tokyo in front of
me.

Tokyo has long been a favourite beer of mine, ever since I first tried it on cask at Pub du Vin in Birmingham. Anarchist/Alchemist however I'm not a big fan of. It's just too strong for my liking.

I think this is also something that is a limitation of the mix. This is, essentially, a two thirds 17% Black and Tan. Even with just a third this is a high percentage of alcohol.

Flavour wise, the beers mix well, with the hoppiness of the Anarchist/Alchemist giving way to the flavours of the Tokyo. I think this is a drink worth trying, though it's probably best to have someone to share it with.

I'm now going home for a beer induced sleep.

See you all tomorrow for the Friday Pint.
