Dec 1, 2009 Bottled. Very black, richhead. Arom of licorice and whisky. Fairly sweet and honeyish. Salty and potent, tarry and full bodied. Mild honeyish whiskey gives some warmth. Resiny bitterness.

Nov 30, 2009 Updated: Dec 2, 2009Cask pour at Churckey DC. Black, no head. Light aroma of chocolate syrup, dark fruit & a touch of alcohol. Flavor is a delicious blend of chocolate, rasberry, dark fruit, whisky and oak - with no one flavor overpowering the others. Fantastic.

Nov 30, 2009 Came in a big box BrewDog sent to me for buying 20 of their beers from Sainsburys.
Black, almost opaque with medium off white caramelly head. Smell rich chocolate, some vanilla and a little coffee, rich yet delicate. Taste rich, filling, sweet chocolate, with some very bitter coffee coming in for a dry finish. Strong alcohol and Whisky notes burn, giving a tasty, rounded flavour. Some sweet cinnamon. Medium carbonation. Excellent and warming. Perfect for Winter.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle. This beer has got some qualities... the smokeiness, the sweetness etc. but there is just something wrong with the balance. Who can a 10% imperial stout be this thin?

Nov 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a lasting white head. Aroma and flavour dominant of vanilla, almond and spice. Very sweet malt backbone - almost sugary/candyish - reminds me of pasteurised chocolate milk in the carton. Low bitterness and carbonation. I’m not detecting any peat/smoke character whatsoever. Finishes sweet malty. Strangely I’m picking up on artificial flavours throughout this beer. Perhaps not one of their finest moments.

Nov 26, 2009 Pours a deep black with almost no head. Aroma of alcohol, smoke, cocoa, and licorice. Flavor is slightly bitter and salty, with a big iodine/ whisky bite. Finishes short and somewhat dry.

Nov 26, 2009 Cask - Dartford WMC. A medium, frothy tan head is supported by a thick dark brown body of beer. Sweet vanilla and milk chocolate notes with roasted malts, a hint of coffee and touch of woodiness on the nose. Loads of roasty malts, smokey, ashy flavours, a bit of liquorice with a dry bitter chocolate and woody end. Medium mouthfeel, coats the palate with a lingering dryness and low to medium carbonation.

Nov 25, 2009 The aroma is very nice with toasted malt, chocolate, coffee, raisins, alcohol, and wood. The appearance is dark brown with almost no head. The flavor is like the aroma but also tastes burnt. The palate is thin. Overall a nice smelling beer but the palate is way to thin and the beer is almost flat.
