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. Sweet to start, chocolatey, slightly ashy, earthy malt notes. Finish is bitter and slightly leafy in the finish. Roastyness is always there, probably a little less complex than i was expecting, but still a great stout. very tasty.

Bottle shared thanks to Willblake I think. Pours a Deep dark brown wiht a thinning head. Aroma of chocolate malt, light licorice, anise, earth toast and hints of coffee. More chocolate malt, with a charred acrid balck malt bitterness, herbal and earthy like hops and more anise in the end.

Tasting - Perfect Pour. Dark brownish black, tan creamy head. Soft roasted vanilla coffee nose rides undercurrents of lightly smoked cocoa. Dried dark currants and coffee tones round with hints of vanilla and dark chocolate. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, bittersweet finish. Decent, but not in the world class league...

Dark ruby brown color with almost no head at all. Roasty, coffee aroma with faint hints of smoke and licorice. Lightly sweet toffee notes lead into roasted barley and coffee flavors with a hint of smoked malt. Light milk chocolate flavors present as well. Thin bodied, but the alcohol is well hidden.

Bottle: Poured a clear black color ale with a small foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted coffee is pleasant enough. Taste is a mix between some roasted coffee and lightly bitter malt. Body is a bit thin and carbonation is also low but alcohol was not discernable. I would have appreciated this beer even more with some black chocolate notes and some additional complexity.

(Bottle, Batch 002) Pours a dark reddish brown body with small beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, light chocolate, caramel, and nuts. Flavor of roasted malt, hops (citrus), chocolate, and coffee with a bitter finish.

Bottle, thanks Frylock. Dark brown, some light shines through. Nose is caramel, dark honey, rich dark malts, alcohol. Flavor is rich malt, roasty & lightly burnt. Some tobacco. Lingering toffee/caramel finish with nice bitterness.
