Keg at BrewDog Camden, London. Pours dark brown with a large, lasting creamy tan cap. Lots to take in on the nose. Loads of dark, sun-dried fruits such as raisins, blackcurrants and dates. There are notes of rich chocolate syrup and mild alcohol. Light earth and burnt wood. Flavor is fantastic. It is very sweet, though I wouldn’t say cloying. Plenty more ripened dark fruits here, dates and raisins especially, also brown sugar, restrained chocolate, moderate roast, hints of alcohol, some woody dryness that spreads out the sugars. There are hints of lightly tangy cherry cordials as well. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Somewhat chewy. Very sweet to finish with some warmth, moderate sticky sugars, figs, dates, brown sugar, faint grapes, touches of wood, very light earth. Soft roast, hints of toffee. Lasting impressions of brown sugar, dates, currants. Excellent beer. Very bold with deep complexity.
