BrewDog 77 and Zeitgeist

I picked up two new Brewdog beers at Systembolaget the other week. They where both part of the release to the ordinary supply.

BrewDog 77 Lager (bottle) 4,9%
It poured a clear golden liquid with a medium sized white foam that left a little bit of lacing.

The smell was the best part of the beer, even though it wasn't that good. A noticable smell of malt, bread and caramell.

It had a smooth and dry mouthfeel. Tasted of malt, bread and a hint of caramell. But where´s the hops? Where's the rebellion? In the end it's just another average lager and doesn't seperate itself from the rest.
Total: 2,2/5
BrewDog Zeitgeist (bottle) 4,9%
It poured a pitch black liquid with a medium sized light brown foam that left some lacing.

It had a smell of coffey, chocolate and burned toast.

It had a smooth and dry mouthfeel. Tasted the same as it smelled with some coffey, chocolate and burned toast. It feels like there is something lacking in this beer. There's nothing wrong with it, but it feels like it doesn't bring anything to the table.
Total: 3,1/5
