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.

Thanks tpd975 for the share. Pours dark brown with a slight off-white head. Nose is roasted malt, some smoke, and roasted malt. Flavor is roasted malt with bitter hops, some smoke, and some chalkiness. Flavor is lingering dry. It is ok.

It didn’t pick up on the imperial aspect of this stout. It reminded me of a mild with the smooh malt body. In the English style, with low carbonation and a fairly thick palate. Chocolate, and some earth. Only a hint of smoke.

Dark brown with ruby edges. Frothy, bubbly head of light tan cream. Malt accented nose lacks depth and describable character, with some medicinal character and some dark malt (cocoa and smoke.) Flavor is very stale and dull. Very poor balance, oxidized and tough to drink. I really wish Brewdog would consider a much beefier beer for their Paradox.

Bottle, can’t remember from where. I do like Brewdogs beers a lot and this is no exception. Pretty much black in colour with a light creamy brown head. Like Wes Brown. Smells sweet but not too much, dark chocolate and rich fruit cake. Hardly any bitterness in the taste which certainly puts lead in my pencil. Smooth and nice with the alcohol in there but perfectly adding to everything. Very nice thank you very much.

Bottle. Low but lasting creamy light brown head. Clear dark ruby body. Coffee choccolate aroma with a bit of hops bitterness in the background. Sttrong and lovely coffee flavor with choccolate. Very nice palate. Can almost feel the coffee beans. Strong but still smooth and nice without alcohol taste. Low carbonation and a very long aftertaste.

Bottle. Opaque, shiny black with a thin, rather disappointing head. Aroma of burnt wood, smoke, coffee, vanilla. Strong flavor of roasted malts, coffee, alcohol heat, chocolate. Rich and somewhat complex, with bitter, burnt, dry finish. Body not enough to match the flavor-somewhat watery. Nice, tasty, bitter stout, but not the best package altogether.
