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 - 750 ml) Dark black with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is rich and malty with a rather subdued roasted flavor. Lots of roasted and chocolate malts at the beginning of the flavor with a smooth and light chocolate middle. Finishes with a nicely roasted and semi-sweet malt blast.

Milk chocolate in the nose with plenty of underlying fruitiness. Opaque dark brown body is topped by a low tan-brown head that recedes to a partial cover with some lacing. Raisins,roasted malts and hickory suffuse the chocolate sweetness with a lingering interplay between bitterness and sweetness in the aftertaste. Medium full body with moderate carbonation that is pleasantly effervescent. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle purchased at Brewery Creek in Jul-09.

Deep darkness with crimson swirls. The head was tan and quick to go. The aroma is very nice - chocolate malt balls. Roasted malt, chocolate, raisins and hop in the flavor.

Pours a weak watery brown showing significant light on the pour and in the glass. Head is thin and tan, reluctant to form with coaxing and quick to dissipate. Nose starts with green apple skins, some mild molasses, sweet for sure, no roast, and mild chocolate. Flavor is papery, watery, has a mild grain astringency, bitter chocolate. Watery mouthfeel with some grain husk bite. Not good.

22oz bottle from the Boise Co-op. Best before 09/09/09 so it’s 6 days over- no worries. Pours a very dark brown color with a small beige head. The aroma is great; sweet burnt caramel, chocolates, rich fruity malts. The flavor is great as well; smooth and rich chocolates, sweet milky flavors, light ash and smoke. Loads of cocoa and some dark fruit. Very quaffable. This damn good. A perfect ABV for a smooth and creamy brew.
