BrewDog Paradox Macallan (Batch 011)

Pours a deep, opaque sable with a fairly thick and somewhat persistent tan head. Aroma is strong and smoky with undertones of coffee and unsweetened chocolate as well as a firm overtone of whiskey. Flavor is smoky and a little malty with a firm whiskey bite as well as hints of unsweet chocolate, coffee and toffee - downright lip-smacking. Texture is thick and oily-smooth, leaving a good tingle as it goes down.

From the Bottle at Dr Bill’s Tasting Falling Rock Tap House, Denver 09/10/2008 Whisky aroma. Dark red coloured and strong in alcohol with a crisp and bitter lasting finish.

Dark brown with red glimts and medium sized beige head. The aroma had burned malt, dark chocolate, smoke and wood. Flavour had burned malt, smoke, wood, dark bitter chocolate and vanilla. Finished with warming alcohol.

(Bottled) Very dark reddish brown with a small, beige and lacy head. Quite smoky, sweetish-syrupy-malty aroma with salty licorice, vanilla, and hints of peat. Flavor is salty-licoricey with tar, some smoke, vanilla, slightly sweet malt. Medium body with evident but warming and not disturbing alcohol, and very soft and low carbonation. Very tasty and quite balanced, although maybe a bit thin in the end.

Bottle at home ... deep brown red ... thin tan head ... lovely chocolate nose ... deep roast ... light smokey ... lots of roast ... quite a lot of whiskey in linger... again chocolate ... easily drinkable.

Bottled (Alko, BB 02/2011). This beer is now called "Paradox Speyside". Opaque black color, small tan head. Aroma of licorice, roasted malts, vanilla and whisky. Medium-bodied, almost a bit thin for being 10%. Roasted, some vanilla, iron and whisky. Finish is roasted, almost burned with touch of alcohol. Solid Paradox.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt, alcohol, wood, and whiskey. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt, wood, and whiskey, leading to a dry roasted finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(bottled from alko, arkadia) semi black colour with very little head. on nose shit. i think budweiser is more tastyer than this. where is aroma of whiskey? where is fullness of imp stout? like coloured water drink.. money waste.
