330 ml bottle. Dark brown body, close to black with a fine creamy beige head. Aroma is roasted coffee, chocolate, dark malt with citric and pine hops. Flavor is balanced sweet, roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, citric fruit and pine with a very pleasant hoppy finish. This is a very nice and fruity imperial stout topped with a rich and complex hop flavor. Simply extremly smooth, tasty, quaffable and fantastic – love it.

buona birra, già bevuta altre volte e sempre piacevole. sinceramente la ricordavo con più schiuma. da suggerire sicuramente

Bottle from Vinmonopolet. Pours black with a good sized tan head. Strong coffee and chocolate aroma also some figs and plum. Taste is rich and full of sweets, roasted malts, dark fruits and liquorice. Lingering aftertaste with roasted malts.

pours almost black, with beige head, nose is coffee and some roasted malts. smooth creamy texture and a drying finish, choc malts and coffee with some nuttiness and a touch of hops for the dryness

Bottle (in NZ). Light ground coffee and nuts on the nose. Big mouthfeel, lots of roasted malt, touches of chocolate, a long dryness with a gravelly finish. A stout with a difference...

Large bottle via beer group. Pours a slick black with a mocha head. Body is surprisingly medium and is certainly an easy drinker. Nose of roasted almonds. Body is mostly chocolate with some pleasant patent tones weaving thru the shimmering glass. Carbonation is slow but steady. Nice one.

UPDATED: JAN 31, 2010 30.01.2010, 0,33l Bottle from vinmonopolet. Batch 371, BB 12.04.2011. Dark brown,almost black colour with beige head. Aroma is dry bitter with roasted dark malts. Rich beer with a lot of flavours and a full body. Roasted malts. The bitterness is very nice. It is dry with a long and refreshing aftertaste. Very good.

A good stout from Brew Dog. Not as good as Tactical but close enough. I enjoy the nutty caramel licorish texture. Really good mix. The balance of the nutty texture is positive. This is very nice botteld conditioned. On tap this would be better. I’m enjoying these Brew Dog beers despite their commerical media frenzy. I’ll glady drink good beer regardless of their media impetus.
