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.

Low and dense coffee head. Unclear dark brown to near black color. Rich aroma of roast, licorice and burnt caramel. Coffee, bitter licorice and chocolate is dominating the taste. Some sweetness and delicate hops underneath. Notes of alcohol. Healthy body, velvetly mouthfeel. Very nice. (Thanks to KnutAlbert for sharing)

Bottle, thanks after4ever! Pours opaque black with a lacy tan head. Sweet aroma of brown sugar, grain and coffee. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Sweet coffee taste, moderated by earthy hops. Somewhat astringent and smoky finish.

Four oz sample from a botttle at the 3 sons beer tasting. Black and dark but not opaque. Typical attractive stoutish aroma. Some visible carbonation in there. Strong but it takes a couple of moments for the strength to set in. Alky impact follows, some warmth down the throat. Over the top yet smooth in its own way. Long bitter roasted complex finish typical of most stouts of this genre.

A large dark brown pour with tan head and lace. Aroma is chocolate and toasted malt. Flavor is dominated by chocolate and burnt coffee. A full bodied well carbonated beer. Very nice

smells of alcohol and maybe a touch of caramell. dark amber color. charred, malty flavors with bitter astringency behind it. scottish tasting for sure with the maltiness going on but more on the alcoholic side rather than the thick side.. some nut skin flavors near the end. its drinkable though if nothing else.
