BrewDog Riptide

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 27 Sep 2008) Very dark brown colour with brief, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of coffee, chocolate and liquorice. Roasted, malty taste with dark bitter chooclate, coffee, liquorice and a nice cocoa bitterness in the finish. Fairly sweet, slightly above medium body. The last sentence of the commercial description puts it quite well. Very nice beer.

bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, coca cola colored body, coffee colored head, roasted coffee flavors with cocoa and dark fruits, finish is very dry

Bottle. Opaque and coffee colored around the edges with an off white head. Outwardly subdued (that’s got to be an oxymoron) hop and chocolate profile. Roasty and quite smoky, cinnamon. Not your typical IS aroma. Belgian cocoa, nicely balanced. Flavor is more typical - chocolatey, hops more apparent, chalky and tannic finish. Good smoke, bitter finish. Beefy palate, but thin at the end. Big finish. I like it. It’s a slightly different angle.

Black with a fizzy tan head. Mild malty chocolate aroma. Roasty, slight fruit, and watery chocolate taste. Not as robust as I would like for an 8% stout.

Bottle... NFL Day at dchmela’s in O-Town... Pitch black with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. The aroma is a collaboration of chocolate, vanilla and tree nuts. Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Chocolaty and a touch boozy. Big, burnt bitterness. Lengthy, chocolaty, bitter finish.

Sample @ Stockolm Beer Festival 2008. Easy to drink stout. Like melt chocolate in your mouth.

Bottle, Pours black, tan head, slight orange hues. Aroma of malt, slight wood, dark roast, some bitter. Flavor has subtle wood, dark roast, faint sweetness. Mouthfeel is light-med body with high carbonation......Overall, good stuff!

Bottle thanks to Bu11zeye. Pours dark and has the exact appearance of diet coke. Nose is cocoa powder, booze, and roasted malt. Taste is like a mouthful of coffee grounds with a bit of chocolate. Very bitter. Decent mouthfeel.
