EdKing (1302) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - FEB 16, 2012
Keg in Brewdog Camden. Opaque black, thin tan head. Nose is pungent alcohol, dark fruits, predominantly, pruney, bit of date and plum. There’ some chic and coffee too, but it’s the bold dark fruit and roast bitter coming through on the finish. If I’m going to be critical there’s a lack of stout chic flavours n there.

On tap at BrewDog Camden. Opaque black beer with a good cream - tan head. Smooth palate, a little fine carbonation. Rich dark malt with all sorts of interesting things going on! A very light touch of medicinal herb, vanilla ice cream, rum and raisin ice cream. Splash of cocal cola. The diverse flavours join up very well indeed. Finishes semi dry with a trace of coffee. Very good beer with a naff name!

Scopey (3246) - Croydon, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 17, 2012
Keg at BrewDog Camden. It pours jet black, with a thin dark tan head. The nose is tangy dark fruit, cherry, chocolate, icing sugar and some roasted malt. The taste is varnish, cherry, raisin, tangy plum, currant, smoke, tobacco, roasted malt and some alcohol warmth, with a dry-roasted finish. Full body, fine carbonation, smooth mouth-feel and well balanced. Really fruity and drinkable imperial stout - delicious!
