BrewDog Paradox Glen Grant (Batch 003)

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

Pours mahogany into a snifter. Offwhite head quickly recedes to hug rim. Peat aromas. Whiskey from front to back with a slight coffee and oak tinge. Lasting scotch burn.

12 oz bottle purchased at Beverages for Less in Santee. Too much coffee flavor for me, and very little whiskey. Some oak and malts.

Pours a dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, and just a little touch of whiskey. This is actually very mild and smooth, I was expecting a lot more whiskey flavor and thought it might be a little more bold. Still good though.

12 oz bottle from Bev4less. Pours an opaque dark brown with a small cream head that soon fades to a fine film leaving some lacing. The aroma is musty with roasted grains, oak, coffee, something fruity, and a touch of whiskey. The taste is rich with coffee, roasted malts, oak, a touch of whiskey and biter walnuts. The mouthfeel is full smooth and creamy. The finish is medium in duration and dry. Overall: A very enjoyable impy stout, not much whiskey character, but then it is a beer.

Courtesy of tpd975. Pours dark brown with thin tan head. The aroma is mild with roasty to chocolate malts being covered up by ample amounts of booze followed by a hint of wood and searing hotness on a big draw. The taste is mild and smooth as indicated by the nose. I get notes of mild peat to earthiness followed by a smooth and gentle roasty to chocolate maltiness. The finish approaches with lingering sweetness, notes of Scotch booze, lingering faint wood notes and a mild warming sensation. Wow, milder experience than what I was expecting. Smooth and very drinkable.

Black with a short lived creamy tan head. Roasty aroma with chocolate and alcohol notes. Smooth velvety palate. Chocolate, berries, dark roasted coffee, and mellow scotch taste. Very smooth finish with warming scotch tastes lingering in the back of the throat.

Bottle. Poured a deep black into a snifter with a small brown head. Aroma of scotch, bitter chocolate and roasted malt. Flavor of scotch whiskey and coffee. A little warming alcohol on the end. Even some fruity notes in the middle. Low carbonation and full bodied. Good.

Bottle... Post RBSG ’08 O-Town/Vero Beach Throwdown Chapter 8... This beer rocks! ... Pours black with a creamy, off-white head. Decent retention. Understated, earthy, acrid aroma offers up subtle notes of chocolate, tobacco, wood and smoke. Full-bodied and velvety with medium carbonation. Balanced nicely. Sweet chocolate; bitter, woodsy alcohol. Chocolaty finish. Thanks go out to growler for sharing this world class bottle of beer!
