Bottle ? from BrewDog - over a year old [030513]
Black, big dark tan head that dissipates away, some lacing
Aroma of heavy dark rich malts, woody, dark chocolate, dark toffee, slight touch of whisky
Taste of rich dark deep malts, alcohol is a bit noticeable, dark bit fruity chocolate, roasted malts, dark wood, nice soft whisky note, dark molasses, rich dark caramel, dark fruits, complex, probably the whisky has mellowed over time
Palate - Medium carb, full body, rather sweet quite boozy palate. Finish as main flavour with some roasted wood and warming alcohol
Overall - Very good imperial stout, certainly benefitted from aging as the whisky is soft and mellow, good drinkability for the high abv, but I felt it was a bit too boozy still...would have preferred it if it was around 10-12% abv.

Bottle->snifter. Black with medium tan head. Aroma: licorice and chocolate, dark fruit. Taste: sweet, boozy, caramel, licorice, chocolate, dark fruit. Lots going on, clearly a quality beer, but too boozy and too sweet.

330 ml bottle, rated from backlog. Thick syrupy black with little beige head. Aroma super sweet, roasted malt, cask with pleasant whisky notes. Taste is super super sweet and whisky-like at lower temps, gets more complex with increasing temp. Smokiness, chocolate and other flavors became present. Finish sweet and woody/whiskey:y

330ml bottle @Lúpulo Feroz, Oviedo. Wood and liquor aromas. Pours very dark, opaque, some offwhite head, poor lacing. Medium body, soft carbonation, creamy texture. Taste is sweet, liquor, caramel. Long and warm aftertaste. Nice one.

Bottle shared by bhensonb. Pours dark brown with a disappearing tan head and a treacle and whiskey aroma. There is a sweet dark molasses and plum flavor with a nice alcohol trail.

Bottle from Bine & Vine. Pours dark brown/black with a tan smear. Peaty aroma. A little smoky and fruity. Full bodied. Flavor is dark fruit/prune/plum with ever increasing peat. Quit mild. Not! But very refined for a Brewdog Paradox.

20/IV/13 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ Erwin’s post aquarium BBQ - BB: 15/II/17 - batch 47 - (2013-343)

Clear dark brown to black beer, small brown head, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet, caramel, peated, earthy, sugary dried fruits, some chloride. MF: soft carbon, full body. Taste: caramel, dried fruits, alcohol, peated, dark chocolate, sugary. Aftertaste: dark chocolate, caramel, sugary, peated, tobacco, some soy sauce, more sugar, and alcohol, lots and lots of alcohol. It fell really heavy on the stomach!

peaty delishy. somehow missed this before. or maybe it just now made it out here.

Black with a brown head - Vanilla and wood in the aroma - good malt body with some wood and vanilla - finishes with a lingering sweet malt and vanilla with some well hidden alcohol in the back - this was very good
