Bottle from Brewdog.com, february 16th 2013. Pours a black color, good sized brown head. Seems more carbonated and foamy than other paradoxes I’ve had. Massive aroma of licorice, rum, roasted malt, raisins. Taste is a bit milder, with herbs, rum, roast and coffee. Quite sweet, heavy stuff but still seems lighter than 15%. Leaves a warm woody finish. Very nice beer.
