(Bottle) Pours black. The aroma is fat malty with a medium roasted character of dark bread, coffee and dark chocolate alongside some mild woody and whisky-like notes. The flavour is medium to heavily roasted with notes of coffee, dark bread and dark chocolate. Whisky and wood is also present. The mouthfeel is fat and soft with a light oily touch. Medium bitter with a medium body.

At vero. Sweet, and the most peaty of the Brewdogs we tried. Rich, dark brown sugar. Hot nose. Richly aromatic, sweet in a mellow way like Japanese black sugar or honey. The least complex of the 3 Brewdogs we tried too. Burnt flavors, slight alcohol sweetness in background. Burnt banana flavors. Really pleasant.

Batch 010, bb 12/12/09. Dark black with red hints at the edges and a thin quick light tan head. Roasty and thin whiskey smoke aroma. Taste is like a nice smooth whiskey with a slightly roasty bitter malt base. Same as the 005, except it comes out a bit thinner in the body.

330ml Bottle: Aroma of light caramel, slight molasses, slight peat, light vanilla, and a hint of wood. Poured very dark brown in color with no head to speak of. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of malts, oak, slight caramel, light caramel, slight peat, and a hint of whiskey. Medium body. Lightly oily, slightly chalky texture. Soft to average carbonation. Malt, slight caramel, slight vanilla, slight peat, and oak finish. 10%ABV is barely noticeable.

Almost pitch black color, small tan head. Strong Scotch whisky aroma. Soft start, some fruityness, licorice, Islay whisky, which bursts and dominates aftertaste. Quite good balance of flavors in this one.

12oz bottle from Liquid Solutions. Pours a deep coffee brown with a small bubbly light beige head, not much lacing. Not as much peat on the nose of this one, more like bourbon. Also lots of wood tannin and chocolate. Flavor also holds lots of dry wood and cocoa, interesting. I’m glad this one is a little different than the other versions.
