A Scottish brewery has generated a storm of controversy by releasing the world's strongest and most expensive beer in bottles made from dead animals.

Called 'The End of History', the beer sells at $855 a bottle and is 55 percent alcohol, UK newspaper the Telegraph reported.

Scottish beer makers BrewDog made 12 bottles of the ale using the stuffed remains of seven stoats, four squirrels and one hare.

Brewery co-founder James Watt described the ale as "the beer to end all beers".

"It's an audacious blend of eccentricity, artistry and rebellion â€" changing the general perception of beer, one stuffed animal at a time," he was quoted saying.

BrewDog insists the animals all died of natural causes, though the taxidermist who stuffed the animals said some had been the victims of roadkill.

Advocates for Animals policy director Libby Anderson described the beer as "perverse" and a "stupid marketing gimmick".

"It's pointless and it's very negative to use dead animals when we should be celebrating live animals," she told the BBC.

In the past year BrewDog has released other high-alcohol beers with lurid names like 'Tactical Nuclear Penguin' and 'Sink the Bismarck!'.

I had no idea taxidermy was so expensive.  Maybe if I wrapped my food in roadkill in the fridge, my vegetarian kids would leave it alone.

Just give it all a quick rub down with some bacon, that'll do the trick.
