Aug 27, 2008 12-oz. Thanks, Rene! Black with amber highlights and a loose sudsy gray head. Big salty seaweed and smoky peat nose on top of a bunch of chocolate and roast. Mild creamy medium body, soft carb. Roasty, salty, seaweedy, smoky, peaty mid-palate. Long salty bitter finish. Lovely stuff.

Aug 15, 2008 Bottled, BB 8/31/08. Poured murky, but mostly clear deeper brown with a short dusting and some bigger bubbles of tan for headage. The aroma opened with a brighter, just slightly smoked whiskey impression with aged and experienced oak.. also a touch of sour impression from these same elements.. behind that were rich dark malts that didn’t quite impart distinct character beyond a bit of sweeter chocolate.. roast was lighter, and the balance was right on! The flavor had sweeter cocoa and cake-like chocolates at the core surrounded by grainy whiskey and some lactose (sweet and sour).. finished more sour with oak, bourbon, and sweet chocolates.. decadent and memorable at the end. Medium-bodied on the palate with a lengthy, lightly sour and well-balanced finish.. grainy overall, which really worked well here. Great one!

Aug 9, 2008 It’s black with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma has notes of whisky, wood, roasted malt, light sweetness and chocolate. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of roasted malt, grain whisky, chocolate, dark fruits, light caramel, hints of citrus and it ends on a slightly burnt, bitter note.

Jul 27, 2008 Deep brown beer with a tan head. Chocolate, coffee, moss, grainy, molasses, and whisky. Medium bodied. Roasted malts, molasses, chocolate, and fiery whisky in the finish. Quite enjoyable stout and best BrewDog I’ve had.

Jul 26, 2008 Pitch black color, with a white head. A very rich dark chocolate, espresso, dark fruit brew with with just a faint touch of whisky. The mouth feel is well balanced and the alcohol hardly shows. From begginning to end this delivers what it promises with a lingering dark chocolate finish and moderate bitterness. Dangerously drinkable for its size. By far my favorite beer from these guys.
