I finally drank the second of my two Juxtaposition Black Pilsners from my beer stock purchased back in September. It's a collaboration brew between BrewDog, Cabridge, and Stone Breweries. I got two 12oz singles at about $8 or $9 each. Not the cheapest beer in the world. I must say though it was one of the best tasting beers I've had. I'm a fan of the black pilsner style and this was quite enjoyable. I wasn't impressed by the first bottle apparently. I noted in my beer notes that it had IPA bitterness and that was about all. But the second time I had it I was quite impressed:
great complex beer; has that vintage taste similar to the Thomas Hardy types w/o the velvety taste but all the flavors; looks like a black lager but doesn't have any pronounced roast or chocolate flavor; smells hugely of alcohol but hides the taste well; good hoppyness
