Dec 20, 2009 Aroma is Chocolate and Caramel. Appearance is jet black with a large creamy head. Taste is alcohol, chocolate, roasted malt and the malt hangs arounbd the palate. This is one of my favourite Stouts, pity BD seems to want to discontinue it. Not interesting enough gents?

Dec 20, 2009 A deep dark stout with a thin off white head. Aroma of bitter chocolate, dust, dark fruits, and fruity esters. In mouth, a nice lightly sweet chocolate, milkey, smooth, lightly hopped but sustained burned bitterness. A bit lighter bodied than expected. Not bad. Bieropholie Imports, BB 10-02-10.

Dec 18, 2009 Aroma is strong, oily and smoky with an undertone of fine roast coffee and a hint of molasses. It pours a dark-chocolate brown, opaque and nearly black, with a fairly thick and somewhat persistent head. Rich flavor fills the mouth with roast coffee, molasses, unsweetened chocolate, caramel and even a bit of hops. Texture is jagged, fizzy and lively. This beer is NOT for the timid!

Dec 14, 2009 Brewdog Rip Tide 12/12/09 (bomber, says best before 9/9/09. Pours dark brown-purple, with almost no head. Aroma of raisins, peat, dark chocolate and a touch of sweet molasses. Body is medium and mild carbonation, a bit thin for the style. Flavor can be described simply as dark chocolate with an earthy, raisin-infused element. Not much roasts or coffee here. I’m not really impressed by this one. And this is the second Brewdog beer I’ve felt the same about (Punk IPA being the other). Lacks the body, complexity, and, well heck, the alcohol, of my favorite bold Impy Stouts.) 3.6.
