3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Keg at the PSBH 1st May 2012. Not bad standard bubblegum brewdog sweetness - they need to innovate ASAP starting to get samey and commercial -inevitable?

Half pint from the draft menu at BrewDog Glasgow. Fawn-coloured head on top of a body that is black as pitch. Smell of peaty malts and dark fruits. Nice blended flavour of dark fruits, liquorice and juicy, chocolate malts and with a peaty touch throughout. Lingering dark bitter ending. Tasty, 10.04.2012.

Keg at BrewDog. Dark brown/black. Thin tan head. Big fruity grassy hop nose, hint of apricot, coffee grounds. Big roast coffee front, followed by big earthy/roasty bitter hops, but it’s all a bit thin. Not one of the best.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Keg @ BrewDog Edinburgh 260312
Black, thin tan head, little lacing
Aroma of grassy hops...dark rich caramel malts..soft roasted malts..bit of nut kernel...slightly earthy
Taste of grassy hops..some resinous hops...dark caramel malts..soft roasted malts...reminds me of Equity for Punks 2011....similar grassy hop flavour that’s in many of their beers
Palate - bit perppery pn the back...vit voscous dark malts. Finish as main favlur, quite dry, astringent spicy resinous hoppy bit spicy finish
I prefer Alice Porter to this, it’s a bit too hoppy and is straying into Black IPA territory - still quite a good beer though

Nicely poured from the CamdenTown Brewdog bar. Comes off a bit thin for a porter, but otherwise is enjoyable and nicely hopped.

On-tap at Brewdog Glasgow:
Roasted malts and some light coffee notes along with some cocoa and a little dried fruit. There is quite a bit of spice to this one on the nose and a touch of dark chocolate.
Black with touches of a deep red around the edges and a light, reddish brown head on top.
Strong malty taste though and a little touch of hops too. The coffee isn’t quite as strong as nose.Some licorice notes along with some chocolate and hints of dried fruit. It is rounded off with a fair bit of spice.
Medium bodied beer with good bitter malts and a spicy, lingering coffee aftertaste and a touch of dryness.
Nice spicy notes to this beer and a good balance with a solid, malt base and the occasional taste of hops throughout.

Almost black colored pour. Small tan head that quickly subsides and leaves just a tiny amount of lacing. Chocolate aroma, hops, a slight smokiness. All of these are also present in the taste, with more emphasis on the smoke. Very peaty. Not bad.
