3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle; didn’t realize this was Brewdog until I looked at the bottle more closely. Poured a dark brown/black with a modest, creamy brown head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, a bit of earth, must and a touch of fruit; chocolate was a standout. Initial reaction was that the flavor was quite robust and full bodied; good deal of roasted malt. Flavor lingers and actually morphs on the palate. Some good cocoa and fruit notes pull through with some time. Easy to drink, and the alcohol is quite hidden. A very solid beer.

Bottle; poured a very dark brown if not black with a rather pathetic looking brownish head that quickly diminished. Aroma of roasted oats, caramel, coffee and cocoa. Just an ok aroma. Flavor was better; a nice soft palate. Not great, but better. Roasted oats with some solid hopping in finish; citrus and earthy. Not worth the price, but still a solid brew. Nothing unique or distinct.

Four oz sample from a botttle at the 3 sons beer tasting. Black and dark but not opaque. Typical attractive stoutish aroma. Some visible carbonation in there. Strong but it takes a couple of moments for the strength to set in. Alky impact follows, some warmth down the throat. Over the top yet smooth in its own way. Long bitter roasted complex finish typical of most stouts of this genre.

(bottle - 750 ml) Dark black with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is rich and malty with a rather subdued roasted flavor. Lots of roasted and chocolate malts at the beginning of the flavor with a smooth and light chocolate middle. Finishes with a nicely roasted and semi-sweet malt blast.

bottle - Pours black with a small tan head and the characteristic big stout aromas of dark roast malt, coffee, and chocolate. The flavor is of sweet roast malt and dark, bitter chocolate that are balanced well. The hops bitterness lingers in the roasty finish. It’s full bodied and a very enjoyable quaff.

Bottle. Pours a clear and dark brown beer with a weak offwhite head. The aroma is roasted, coffee and licorice. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is roasted. Overall a nice, complex and balanced beer.

A lack-luster brew from the BrewDog. So far not impressed by these overpriced Dawgs! The appearance was on, dark brown black, decent initial head from the bottle. The aroma was chocolate, cocoa, roast. The flavor was lactic, milky, chocolate with some light roast. For an imperial stout, this seemed more astringent than any other I’ve had, odd consdering they tend to be over-sugared. Mouthfeel was on par for the style, not as sticky as it could have been. Long sigh.
