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.

Pours a very dark brown color with a medium khaki head that recedes steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of cocoa, mild coffee and malt. Medium, smooth body with flavors of sweet chocolate, coffee and malt. Mild hops in the background. The finish is sweet chocolate and toasted malt with a short chocolate malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

Nearly black body with a pretty garnet edge. The large head is dark tan with lots of large bubbles. The aroma is at first quality roast coffee with some sweet pancakes. There was also a note of almonds. The taste is brash with strong coffee and dark chocolate. The finish has prunes and some bread crust. The body is nicely balance, but has a little bit of rubbing alcohol in the aftertaste along with a strong bitterness. Well made, but I would like a touch less roast.
