These beers are fermented to a high range and then &#8220;iced&#8221; until they reach a desired gravity. There are mixed thoughts on these beers but they&#8217;re actually two different beer styles. Penguin is an Imperial Stout and Bismarck is an Imperial IPA. Both are then bottled in 12 ounce (375ml) formats and wrapped in paper. Each comes with a sealable cork as no human can drink an entire 12 ounces of 30%+ beer in one sitting. Just like with Whisky, the more air that&#8217;s in the bottle (aka the more you drink), the faster it spoils. So, once you reach the 50% consumed point, you should drink it pretty fast.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed these two beers at BrewDog&#8217;s bar in Camden (London) England. Both were actually at the bottom of the bottle when I had them so I finished the bottles off when ordering one of each side by side. I paid 6 pounds each for these (about $20 total) to taste these. I&#8217;m thinking because these were the last of the respective bottles, I somehow got a more oxidized experience in each beer or a flatter beer than I should have.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I have each of these in my cellar but was saving for a special occasion. At least now I have tasted both of them so the pressure to open each is much smaller.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;BrewDog Camden&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44048128@N00\/7331416686\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"BrewDog Camden\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"480\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7087\/7331416686_8c7cfa3df8_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>BrewDog Sink the Bismarck<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"color: #474747; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 0px;\">\n<div style=\"display: inline; padding: 0px; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #003366;\" title=\"2.4 out of 5.0\">2.4<\/div>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0<small>\u00a0AROMA\u00a0<\/small><big style=\"color: #999999;\">4\/10<\/big>\u00a0\u00a0<small>\u00a0APPEARANCE\u00a0<\/small><big style=\"color: #999999;\">5\/5<\/big>\u00a0\u00a0<small>\u00a0TASTE\u00a0<\/small><big style=\"color: #999999;\">3\/10<\/big>\u00a0\u00a0<small>\u00a0PALATE\u00a0<\/small><big style=\"color: #999999;\">1\/5<\/big>\u00a0\u00a0<small>\u00a0OVERALL\u00a0<\/small><big style=\"color: #999999;\">11\/20<\/big><\/strong><\/div>\n<p><small style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; color: #666666; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"><a style=\"color: #336699; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ratebeer.com\/user\/154569\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">adamjackson\u00a0(347)<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Canaan, USA &#8211; JUN 5, 2012<\/small><\/p>\n<div style=\"color: #474747; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 14px 0px 20px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: #e0e0e0;\">.
