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 from Belmont Party. Poured a clear dark brown color with a large frothy brown head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy roasted chocolate, dark fruit and alcohol aroma. Heavy bittersweet roasted malty flavor with a heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. Full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. This is a very good beer.

Cask at the Leicester Beer Festival. Very dark and rich, this stout has a velvety chocolate quality to it, lots of roasted coffee flavour, earthy malt and hop bitterness. It’s also got a real boozy kick, giving an effect not unlike Scotch whisky. After this one, I knew it was time to head home.

Bottled. Small beige head with big bubbles. Beer itself is pitch back. The nose had sewer-like and unpleasant off flavor that luckily vanished soon. Aroma has sweetish milk chocolate, salty and smoky rostedness of dark malts, some tar and coal. Burnt coffee, dark chocolate and good hoppy punch in the finish. The flavor is salty and dark malty. Well roasted and bitter finish. Milk chocolate gives balancing sweetness. The alcohol is well hidden. The palate is full bodied, heavily roasted, thick, oily and low carbonated.

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.

Bottle. Almost black colour with a small tan head. Aroma is a bit sweet, roasted and chocolaty. Roasted malt flavour with notes of chocolate and liquorice. Some bitterness in the finish and quite smooth mouthfeel.
