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 from Belmont Party. Poured a clear dark brown color with a large frothy brown head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy roasted chocolate, dark fruit and alcohol aroma. Heavy bittersweet roasted malty flavor with a heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. Full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. This is a very good beer.

Bottle. Pours reddish-black, with almost no head, just a skim of tan foam across the surface of the beer. Poor/spotty lacing. Nose is appropriately roasty, with loads of dark fruits nearly running to flowers. A very feminine Imperial Stout in many respects. Coffee and chocolate begin to come out as the beer warms, and it slowly becomes more assertive. Chocolate cake, dark malt, and a bit of smoke emerge with time. Palate is soft, slightly sweet, and mouthcoatingly earthy. Mushrooms, dank cellar, wet leaves, nice roast, some dark fruit, milk chocolate, coffee, which slowly turns quite ashy in the finish. Booze is nicely hidden, and it has a certain port-like character to it.

An almost black colored beer, with a thick foamy beige head. The aroma of burned malts with fruits like dark cherries with some raisins. The taste id dry, there smoked malt, bitter of chocalte with some little sweets of fruits. The aftertaste is dry bitter with smoke and a little spices.
