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.

tostata con sentori di liquirizia morbida amara e corposa con un finale un po troppo agressivo

AlbertC (264) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - OCT 20, 2010
Aroma is chocolate, roasted malts. Taste is roasted malts, moderate bitterness with chocolate, kind of sweet with berries and nice bitterness finishing it off.

seritomi (146) - HUNGARY - OCT 18, 2010
UPDATED: AUG 11, 2011 Wow! Második söröm a srácoktól és eddig 2-ből 2. Gyönyörű krémes világosbarna hab ami gyorsan elillan de nem baj mert így szemünk elé tárul a csodás ébenfa szín. IPÁs illat kesernyés összetevőkkel. Íze nem túl édes inkább keserű, a keserű vonal nyer viszont ez szerethető mert a végén tényleg kávés löket fejezi be a kortyokat.

Rettep (903) - SWEDEN - OCT 18, 2010
Draught. Black with a large, creamy, beige head. Aroma: sweet, roasted, some coffee, wine gums, fruity, milk chocolate and sweet licorice. Taste: bitter, some saltiness, fruit, wine gums, berries, some acidity, perhaps also some spices. Full, slightly fizzy mouthfeel.

Croux (24) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - OCT 13, 2010
On Tap. Poured a deep, deep dark colour with a whitish-brown head that didn’t last long and left a ring around the rim. Smelled of chocolate with slight coffee aromas. I was immediately assaulted by a surprising amount of bitterness for such a dark stout. It tasted like the carbonation level was a little off. I didn’t taste much else besides the bitterness. I really wasn’t that impressed for such a dark stout. It wasn’t smooth and it was too fizzy for my taste.

Huib (55) - Pijnacker, NETHERLANDS - OCT 1, 2010
Starts off with roasted barley, raisins, solid stout, subtile bitterness, finish like you drank a good espresso. perfect

marcot (771) - Campomorone, ITALY - OCT 1, 2010
Alla spina al Pub del Duca di Genova Nervi, celebrazione di una serata scozzese. A fine serata ero troppo strinato per ricordarmi qualcosa di sensato da dire. Ottima Imperial Stout, con un casino di luppolo in pieno stile Brewdog

Velkyal (203) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - SEP 29, 2010
poured as black as a stout should be with a good stout head. This being a stout the nose was coffee and chocolate, this being a BrewDog stout they were there in abundance. Tastewise big and bold, dominated by roasted coffee. Despite being a big hitter on the alcohol front, this was surprisingly easy to drink.
