3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 BeerSkull (675) - SWEDEN - APR 29, 2012
The smell and the taste is sweet with elements of roasted malt, brown sugar, fruit cake and alcohol. The the taste has a pleasant bitterness. I would not classify this beer as an IPA but more as a "Scottish Ale".

12th July 2009 Clear amber - brown beer. Softish palate, a little dry. Low carbonation. Bitter toffee and nuts. Some repressed fruity hop. Bitterish cinnamon and bubblegum. Finishes dry with a trace of banana. A lot going on here but not coming over as that well integrated. Alright though.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 BlackHaddock (1709) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - APR 27, 2012
26 Nov 2009: Third BrewDog beer of the evening, poured into my lovely ’Judas’ glass, almost a full year of life left according to the label.
Murky dull, deep, old gold/muddy terracotta coloured body with an off-white head on top.
Smells of hops and more hops, maybe a hint of malted barley in there too.
Good hoppy taste, not over the top, just heavy on the hops. The ABV is feelable and sits well within the taste and structure of the beer.
Could do without some of the condescending blurb on the label, but the beer is very good.
