Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Some confusion as this was marked as Brewdog Paradox Grain Batch 001 on one side and 002 on another. Marked as best before 8/31/08. Pours with no head and a dark brown body. Aroma of raisins, chocolate, whisky, oak, and some light smoke. Very nice. Taste is vinous and chocolatey with coffee, chalk, oak and smoke. Syrupy with very light carbonation.

Bottle @ home, from Cgarvieuk. Thanks Craig! Almost opague. Dark chocolate, maple syrup and oak in the aroma. Malty sweet, velvety soft flavor with dark chocolate, vanilla, blended whisky and oak. Complex, deceptively soft and dangerously drinkable. Warming alcohol in the finish. Absolutely delicious!

Black body with a small big bubbled but beautiful beige head; Not to big but well composed nose, very US with lots of chocolate and cocoa in front, and a slight touch of whiskey sharp aromas I guess only because I know; Great body, huge pleasant carbonation, velvet texture, slightly bitter with a very little sharpness from alcohol; Long mellow textured finish with a strange salty sweetness and a bite in the tongue, a very little whiskey aromas fitting well with the cocoa bean.

12-oz. Thanks, Rene! Black with amber highlights and a loose sudsy gray head. Big salty seaweed and smoky peat nose on top of a bunch of chocolate and roast. Mild creamy medium body, soft carb. Roasty, salty, seaweedy, smoky, peaty mid-palate. Long salty bitter finish. Lovely stuff.
