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.

0.33 l bottle with a modern-styled label design. After pouring, a stout-typical thin and beige coloured head remains on the top of the stuff. Colour is a deep, non-transparent black and there’s naturally no sparkling in it. Roasty, and coffeebeans-like impressions are hitting the nose. Taste is sharpy, body’s full and oily. Flavour is like previous added with some kind of bitter chocolate, too. Finish is hoppy, dry and lasts lomg in the mouth. Nice stout for one glass in the evening.

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.

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.

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

Bottle at Chris_o Shindig. Very dark brown with tan head. That’s good. I like all of it. Aroma, mouthfeel, finish. Superb. One of the beers of the day for me.

Fruity blackcurrant chocolate malt on the nose with a touch of peat, looks great in the glass. Has a very pleasing smokey chocolate dark fruit flavour with a dryish hop finish which leaves you looking forward to another sip....an immensely well conceived beer that is a pleasure to drink.

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.
