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.

cask at the three judges- pours opaque with a foamy head. smells roasted malts chocolate tastes hop character is much stronger now than in the bottle version, at least that i can remember. it is wonderful, great condition, tastes spot on. there is a long citrus finish, but begins with chocolate, and roasted flavors. each mouthful is something different. it is a great brew.

Nose: Big coffee notes underscored by faint hops. Palate: Rich, luscious coffee and dark, bitter chocolate. Very faint, fruity hops. Classicly styled.

Bottle at Chris_o Shindig. Very dark brown with tan head. That’s good. I like all of it. Aroma, mouthfeel, finish. Superb. One of the beers of the day for me.

Fruity blackcurrant chocolate malt on the nose with a touch of peat, looks great in the glass. Has a very pleasing smokey chocolate dark fruit flavour with a dryish hop finish which leaves you looking forward to another sip....an immensely well conceived beer that is a pleasure to drink.
