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.

cask at the three judges- pours opaque with a foamy head. smells roasted malts chocolate tastes hop character is much stronger now than in the bottle version, at least that i can remember. it is wonderful, great condition, tastes spot on. there is a long citrus finish, but begins with chocolate, and roasted flavors. each mouthful is something different. it is a great brew.

Cask @ Gallows Bird, Espoo, Real Ale Festival 2008. Dark-dark brown. Small beige head. Big chocolate and coffee aroma. Very smooth and silky. The taste is of roasted coffee, then some liqurice. The looong finish is bitter with warming alcohol.

Cask at Edinburgh Beer Festival. Cracking Stout. another great brewdog beer. deep rich alluring colour with small tan head. Coffee, liquorice, chocolate, a touch of vanilla and amazingly silky smooth well rounded body. Goes down a treat.

Nose: Big coffee notes underscored by faint hops. Palate: Rich, luscious coffee and dark, bitter chocolate. Very faint, fruity hops. Classicly styled.
