Jun 13, 2009 nose of light roast, some alcohol and a metallic twinge. appearance is standard opaque. flavor is a bit numbing but contains light chocolate. devoid of java, the light alcohol seems to be the strongest flavor proponent. mouthfeel is similarly disappointing: a bit thin and fleeting. overall i expect more from brewdog.

Mar 31, 2009 330 ml bottle. Blackish-brown color, low brown head. Roasted malt and coffee aroma with a hint of tobacco. Very dry, bitter flavor with espresso and smoked wood. Full body, light carbonation. Pretty good -- it definitely stands out from the crowd.

Nov 23, 2009 Updated: Nov 24, 2009Consumed 6-7-2009...bottle aged for about a year......dark ass brown body...not much beige head....insanely rich coffee aroma of a fine columbian blend....dark fruits like date and prune...I could sniff this for a while....but I want to drink it....it subtly reminds me of a port....Flavors are actually close to the aroma...a mild bitter finish...its viscous with an added flavor that displeases me...although crafted well...not for me....also a mild spiciness in aroma and palate essence of clove

Aug 7, 2009 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.

Mar 20, 2008 Bottle. Chocolate, roasted malt, some coffee, caramel, cream, rice and alcohol aromas. Pours a pitch black coloured beer with a thick cream head. Soft mouthfeel, some carbonation, sweetness, vionous, hoppy, sliky texture. Aftertaste of coffee and hops. Very nice - a superior stout.

Nov 24, 2009 Poured from a bomber to a fluted fest glass at Brixie’s Holiday Beer Tasting in Brookfield, Il. The color was dark brown with some amber tones showing through the glass. The head was a modest amount of bubbly, off white/light tan foam that left some light lacing. The aroma and flavor were roasty with mocha and a wisp of char. A little sweetness was perceived by way of hints of molasses, caramel and dark, dried fruit. The body was just medium, with moderate bitterness and a fairly dry finish. A good Imperial Stout, but not exceptional.

Sep 28, 2008 Sample @ Stockolm Beer Festival 2008. Easy to drink stout. Like melt chocolate in your mouth.

Oct 25, 2009 CASK!!! not much aroma, but the flavor is a very strong dark black roasty malt that lasts for about 15 minutes after each sip. This tastes much higher in alcohol than there is. Cask at The Pub, Naples.
