BrewDog Paradox Glen Grant (Batch 003)

Brewed by BrewDog
Style: Imperial Stout
Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

Pours inky brown, completely black in the glass, with a medium tan head, fine lacing. Aroma of coffee, oak, vanilla, molasses, chocolate and peat. Medium-full body, low-carbonation, crisp, lightly dry. The flavor profile is more reserved than most of the other Paradox varieties, but no less complex -- coffee, oak, molasses, bourbon, some earthy notes. A lightly dry and bitter finish. Well balanced.

21st August 2008. Less in your face than some of it’s Paradox siblings. Low carbonation, silky smooth palate. Subtle well integrated chocolate, mellow whiskey and sour malt. A warming finish with some earthiness. Subtle and refined.

Bottle at post Borefts BF 09 tasting. Dark brown, bit of whisky vanilla butter aorma. Smooth impy stout. Bit of heat on finish. Lots of good smooth dark choc, right side of bitterness, whisky heat and flavour but not overpowering.

In What Completes my Brewdog Set (so far) I have to say a big thanks to Crosling for this one ... Shared in the Aftermath of De Molen in our 30 Beer Breakfast bash ... This was one of the better paradoxes ... deep black ... soft roast malt nose ...rich chocolate fruityness ... deep roast ... little coffee..

pours dark brown, light mahogany head. Aroma of chocolate, amazing sweet caramel for a near lactic sweetness, hints of vanilla and wood. Flavor, well crafted brew for sure, cask/wood presence is not over the top, followed by dark roasted malts, light chocolate, coffee adding a nice sweetness to the palate. Hints of vanilla, light wood with tobacco/char mouthfeel. Not overly boozy, easy sipper. Pleasantly surprised compared to other Brewdog beers.

Pours black with no head. Aroma is rich, roasty malt, bourbon, wood, vanilla, coffee, and, tobacco. Flavor is sweet malt, leather, coffee, bourbon, roast malt, and a bit of alcohol.

Bottle. Pours an oily dark color with almost no head. Nose is fronted by bourbon, some light chocolate and dark malt notes in the back. Palate is oily and smooth with a nice bite. Flavors of crisp bourbon that fade into a nice dark chocolate, malty roastiness.
