COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask & Bottled;
It was only a matter of time before the original BrewDog got his paws in on the action. This egotistical young lab has decided to make a beer which best reflects himself. This is the beer equivalent of the big, cute chocolate monster. Soft, smooth, dark, chocolately and very strong. This gentle giant will never bite but would much rather give you a big lick on the face.

Been awhile since I tasted this. From the notes I made I can only see I liked the dark color and the taste was better than I expected. Palate was good, full body finish.

Koelschtrinker (6544) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - JUN 21, 2011
Malzig, wenig herb, die Aromen scheinen nicht wirklich stark präsent zu sein, halbherzig. Mittelwürzig, zum Ende aromatischer werdend. Auch die zum Ende hin im Vordergrund stehende Malzigkeit ist weniger stark als erwartet, könnte würziger/kräftiger sein. Test vom 28.3.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,10,11,11,10,10 - 10,50

greenclansman (129) - Nicosia, CYPRUS - JUN 18, 2011
Bottle 330ml. Black color with small foam. Coffee and chocolate taste and after taste. Intense alcohol. One of the most full body beers I ever had. Brew Dog never fails.

darn1207 (1280) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - JUN 8, 2011
Bottle from Chan’s Wine World in Destin. Aroma is brown sugar, coffee, malts and licorice. Syrupy iced coffee taste with bitter chocolate and a hint of berries. Interesting. Roasty and ashy in the finish. Palate is slick and thin but somehow feels heavy. A sipper that goes down fast.

lord_totenkopf (167) - Budapest, HUNGARY - MAY 22, 2011
Very dark beer. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and cocoa. The sweet taste is completed with floral bitterness from the hops. Strong aftertaste. Very great stout!

dantheman278 (743) - SCOTLAND - MAY 19, 2011
Ah finally rating this! Keg at BrewDog bar. Thick black, tiny head. Aroma is big, smoky and sweet. Lots of chocolate. Taste is sweet and strong, mocha chocolate and coffee but balanced with a roasty bitterness. Just a brilliant sweet stout.

jonas (4506) - Garching b. München, GERMANY - MAY 16, 2011
Bottle. Dark brown with a claret shine, lacing and frothy brown head. Flowery hops layered on chocolate and port aroma. Dark chocolate, espresso dryness, rum, light tobacco, slight bite in the end, a layer of hops leads to the dark chocolate retronasal. Chewy dry, light sparkly mouthfeel. Well put together and enjoyable, I was hoping for a great desert and got it.
