Title: Sink the Bismarck
Post by: admin on December 02, 2014, 11:41:21 PM
Had some this evening among a few of us in Lucan. Quite good, but a one off. Anyone else had it?

Had some in the sky and the ground in wexford, they also had tactical nuclear penguin. I liked it, very intense and yeah a once off beer. Now tactical nuclear penguin, that's a different story, like drinking a cross between, a refined buckfast and chocolate if ya get me.

Got the last sip of Tactical Nuclear Penguin at the Black Sheep and been looking for this one since :) clearly not a session beer (not just because of the alcohol content), but amazingly still "a beer".

I've had both... A bottle of each and tbh you're better off buying some decent whiskey for the cost..albeit you may need to add a few bob.

Had some of it myself a while ago, I enjoyed it to a certain extent but as Rossa says, the money spent on a good whiskey would be a better choice. Nice to try as a novelty too though.

A couple year ago, I remember seeing those 2 on sale at the Abbott's Ale house off licence. The Sink the Bismarck was 80 euro a bottle and the tactical Nuclear Penguin was 65 euro.

Worth trying but not every day. Well whatever rocks your boat.

+1 on the buy a whiskey instead. Sometimes the just because you can does not mean you should applies to stuff like this.
