BrewDog Paradox Grain (Batch 007)

(12oz bottle, Batch 007, BB 30/12/08) Pours a dark brown body with a spare beige ring. Aroma of bourbon, toffee, caramel malt, vanilla, and light sour notes. Flavor of fig, coconut, light vinous, and roasted malt.

Bottle. Black colour with a tan head. Aroma is coffee, smoked, hop. Flavour is chocolate, coffee, hop, mild whiskey, malt . Wonderful beer.

Bottled BBE 2008. Very dark ruby, almost opaque color, small espresso head. Strong roasted barley and licorice aroma mixed with Scottish vanilla aroma whisky. Roasted, coffeish stout with loads of vanilla. Paradox without smoke but with extra vanilla. Good.

(Bottle) Very dark brown, almost black, with ruby hints through light. Frothy, brief, brown head leaving lacing. Roasted, malty, woody nose with oak, dried fruit, strong sweet coffe and vanilla. Malty, roasted, woody taste with notes of strong sweet coffee, dried fruit, raisins, cocoa, liquorice, vanilla and vinous hints of port in the finish. There is a decent bitterness lurking beneath everything else. Full bodied, rather sweet. Very nice and warming beer in almost perfect balance. In short: strong, sweet coffee with vanilla and a splash of something stronger.

Bottled (from Ölkonsortiet, Aalborg). Very deep amber, close to black, colour, not that much head. Aroma is vanilla, malts, mild roast, toffee and quite much licorice. Flavour is lots of wood and vanilla along with lots of licorice and caramel.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Listed as best before 12/08. My favorite BrewDog to-date. Pours with no head and a dark brown body. Awsome aroma of whiskey barrel, vanlla, chocolate, coconut and a little bit of barrel bug. Reminds me a bit of Captain Lawrence’s Winter Warmer by the whisky barrel aroma. Taste is lots of chocolate and light barrel and wood, with vanilla and a vinous note with a bit of fig and ash. Long whisky filled duration. Creamy mouthfeel a bit on the warming side of things. Great stuff, one of the few BrewDogs I strongly recomend!

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Nose is toasted coconut, booze, dark fruits. Nice dark mahogany colored pour with no head. Tastes like dark tree fruits. Thick mouthfeel, with faint smoke and loads of tasty dark rum cake. Sugary and delicious.

bottle thanks to bu11zeye. black pour with no head. gorgeous nose of wood, vanilla, toffee and scotch. very smooth on the palate with a great flavor of wood and vanilla with a roasted malt finish.
