New strongest beer in the world-Snake Venom

[Toper]

TWO pals who brewed the world’s strongest beer have unveiled an even more lethal recipe – after fans said the first one tasted too weak.
Lewis Shand and John McKenzie, of Banffshire’s Brewmeister Brewery, broke the record with 65 per cent alcohol Armageddon last year.
They sold 6000 bottles around the world but some fans said it didn’t taste strong enough.
So Lewis and John, from Keith, bought a new brewery and spent nine months creating Snake Venom, with a head-spinning 67.5 per cent alcohol content.
Lewis said yesterday: “Snake Venom is definitely sharper in taste. With Armageddon, we actually tried to disguise the taste by making it quite oily.
“We thought if it was too strong, people wouldn’t like it. But the problem we found is that people said we shouldn’t have tried to cover up the intensity.
“Some even said they didn’t believe it was 65 per cent, so this time we thought we’d go full out. We were too nice last time.”
Snake Venom has a warning label on its neck to tell buyers not to drink too much at once.

Lewis, 27, said: “You’re not supposed to drink more than 35ml in one sitting. It should Be poured like it’s whisky.”
“There’s too many bland beers out there and we are trying to push the limits. It’s still a beer, but it’s something different.”
The lads reckon Snake Venom is a perfect Christmas gift, but it doesn’t come cheap. A 275ml bottle costs £50.

I'd rather drink bunnahaibhan.

I tried their armageddon recently. It didn't taste like it had any booze to speak of at all. I can't help but wonder if they've come up with some way to fool the chromatrograph or something. This is in contrast to the atomic penguin which did indeed taste like concentrated imperial stout, and was quite excellent IMO.

It was a pretty worthless beer anyhow besides.

John and Lewis look partial to some highland games in the morning, drinks in the arvo and a savage fistfight or two in the evening.
But it's wrong to judge a book by the cover.
Unless the book is wearing a kilt.

35mL per sitting.

"It should be poured like it’s whisky."

Guys ... I think I'm pouring whisky wrong.
