Sep 29, 2009 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.

Sep 20, 2009 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.

Sep 16, 2009 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.

Sep 15, 2009 Bottle pours deep brown almost black, with hints of red around the edges. Absolutely no head. Aroma is extremely big in the chocolate department with some subtle notes of carbon. Flavor is chocolate, roasted malt, and molasses. The mouthfeel is soft and oily with low carbonation. The only real complaints I have are that there is nothing super exciting about it, and the alcohol really starts to show off as it warms. Other than that, not a bad impy.

Sep 15, 2009 A lack-luster brew from the BrewDog. So far not impressed by these overpriced Dawgs! The appearance was on, dark brown black, decent initial head from the bottle. The aroma was chocolate, cocoa, roast. The flavor was lactic, milky, chocolate with some light roast. For an imperial stout, this seemed more astringent than any other I’ve had, odd consdering they tend to be over-sugared. Mouthfeel was on par for the style, not as sticky as it could have been. Long sigh.
