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. It’s dark brown with deep ruby red in the colour and a thin brown head. Aroma is relatively mild with dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans. There’s some distant hop aroma in there too. Body is smooth and full. Flavour is quite dry, becoming more complex with plenty of coffee and creamy dark chocolate. Finish is long and dry.

On cask at The Pub in Naples, FL. Black color. Aroma of teriyaki and malty-sweetness. Subtle caramel and licorice, great balance in flavors. Malty yet yeasty. Mild carbonation, full body. Quite dark, yet easy to drink. Incredibly well-balanced. Excellent.

Bottle. Dark brown body with a amsll off white head. Roasted malt, caramel, cream and tobacco in aroma. Mostly roasty flavour with notes of chocolate, raisin, light coffee and caramel leading to a dry roasty finish. Medium bodied. To the ordinary side of the impy stouts.

Damn this was pretty ordinary. Barely any nose to speak of, even after half an hour of warming. Quite flavourless too for the high ABV. Tastes more like a traditional stout than an Imperial. Big Bear Stout by Bear Republic shows you can make a very flavourful stout at this ABV, but brewdog are pretty far off here.

Bottle. Dark ruby, almost black, with only a small pale head that dissipates quickly. There are strong notes of roasted malt, dark chocolate and coffee on the nose with lesser hints of lavender. It is almost creamy on the palate without being thick or overly dense. The flavour is less agressive than the nose (or the packaging) would suggest-it is almost graceful without being dainty.
