Commercial Description:
Cask & Bottled;
It was only a matter of time before the original BrewDog got his paws in on the action. This egotistical young lab has decided to make a beer which best reflects himself. This is the beer equivalent of the big, cute chocolate monster. Soft, smooth, dark, chocolately and very strong. This gentle giant will never bite but would much rather give you a big lick on the face.

This one pour a very dark brown almost black color with a small tan head. Aroma was nice roasted malts, some coffee and some silky sweetness as well. Flavor was smooth chocolately somewhat dark, coffee hints and nice roasted maltiness as well.

Bottle. Pours with a dark brownish color not quite black. A sharp aroma of hops and roasted malts. Flavors have a bit of hops bitterness, some spices, cocoa and a hint of coffee. There also is some graininess. It is not as smooth on the palate as a good Impy stout, lacking some creaminess.

On cask at Spuyten Duyvel. Pours a dark cola with a tiny light beige head. Aroma of roasted malts and bitter dark chocolate. Taste is much the same as the aroma.

Sampled at Made in the Shade 2009. Pours a deep brown/black with about half a finger of white head. Very smooth and creamy. Minor alcohol and chocolate notes in the taste. Very carbonated for a stout - takes away from the drinkability slightly. Pretty decent, middle-of-the-road stout.

Pours near black with reddish hues and a fully receding mocha head. Notes of toasted malt, salted chocolate, smoked meats, and vinous fruits. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Vinous and salty, quite nice.

Cellar run at the Rake. Almost black with a tan head and good conditioning. Smooth and roasty with nice warm alcohol kick and pleny of chocolate. Would have liked a few more hops but still a cracking pint.

33cl bottle from ølbutikken dark brown, small thick smooth light brown head. aroma is dominated by chocolate and toffee. also some hops. flavor is sweet, slight chocolate, roasted grains, sligthly flowery probably from hops, much depper and complex than the aroma. ends quite roasted, malty sweet and hoppy. nice one. palate is thick and creamy. overall a great beer, except the aroma is not really letting you know what it is like.

Bottle purchased at Palmer’s. Dark brown pour with a thin tan head. Aroma of chocolate, booze and coffee. Chocolate flavor with a bit of alcohol and semi-bitter coffee on the back end.
