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.

Bottle @ Bishops Arms, Karlstad. Aroma is of roasted malt, coffee, some chocolate. Flavour is of chocolate, bitter coffee, roasted malt, slightly hoppy. Palate is surprisingly thin and a bit dissapointing. Easy drinkable and a very balanced beer, but not something overwhelming. I was surprised to find this one in Karlstad though!

Bottle. Rich in columbian coffee and chocolate, roasted malts, and toffee. Good smoke roast and caramel character with a balanced hoppy finish. My boys sure know how to make a fine impy stout.

Pours a dark brown with small tan head. Flavors of roasted malt, chocolate, smoked bacon, coffee, small notes of dark fruit, and a bitter hoppy finish. Pretty decent, and slightly different imp stout.

Pours dark brown, with a tan ring of bubbles for a head. Rich coffee and chocolate, roasted oats, and toffee. More sweet than bitter in the taste. Chocolate and coffe a prevalent, as is the roasty grain and malt, some smoke, caramel, and dark fruit. I liked how the beer avoided the soy sauce taste that can pop up with other Imperials. Excellent.

(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.
