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.

Grima (1240) - Saarburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - AUG 6, 2011
Pours a deep black beer with fine creamy head. The smell is very malty, chocolatey, coffee and some whiskey. The beer starts with voluminous malt body, much bitter aromas of roasted coffee comes through, also very delicious aroma hops. In the finish, a whiskey flavor is noticeable, coupled with a massive malt body and lots of roasted malts and some chocolate!

williamstome (411) - Somerville, Massachusetts, USA - MAY 2, 2010
Poured black. Smells of grapes, raisins, some chocolate and malt. Taste is chocolate with bitter hoppiness, with a bitter finish. This beer is crisp, if a little harsh, and damn tasty.

Atheist_Peace (428) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - JUL 2, 2010
330ml bottle. Pour deep brown with bright amber tinges and a pretty tan head that lasts forever. All deep roasted malt on the nose with coffee, caramel and toasted chocolate. Follows through nicely on the palate with a big velvety texture. Much bolder than I’d expected.

Nearly black, huge floaty falling tan head. Mostly dark chocolate malt and moderate hint of hops. Really smooth, gentle and dangerously easy to drink.

Bottle@Home. Pours black with a brown head. Aroma is cocolate, coffee. Taste is more coffee, chocolate, toffee, caramel, rather sweet but end with a bitter finish. Full body, soft carbonation. Love it
