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.

Floback (439) - Naples, Florida, USA - AUG 9, 2009
On cask at The Pub in Naples, FL. Black color. Aroma of teriyaki and malty-sweetness. Subtle caramel and licorice, great balance in flavors. Malty yet yeasty. Mild carbonation, full body. Quite dark, yet easy to drink. Incredibly well-balanced. Excellent.

inbirraveritas (712) - Budapest, HUNGARY - NOV 25, 2009
UPDATED: DEC 8, 2009 0.33 l bottle with a modern-styled label design. After pouring, a stout-typical thin and beige coloured head remains on the top of the stuff. Colour is a deep, non-transparent black and there’s naturally no sparkling in it. Roasty, and coffeebeans-like impressions are hitting the nose. Taste is sharpy, body’s full and oily. Flavour is like previous added with some kind of bitter chocolate, too. Finish is hoppy, dry and lasts lomg in the mouth. Nice stout for one glass in the evening.

Spelt (206) - East Kingston, New Hampshire, USA - APR 13, 2010
Aroma of coffee and licorice. Deep, dark, ruby brown with short-lived frothy head. Flavor is again of coffee, roasted malt, licorice and raisins. Significant hop bitterness but does remain balanced. Very easy to drink with a velvety texture and nice long alcoholic finish. Well worth the $6.50. Very nice stout.

Hearty stout. The kind that puts hair on your chest. Jet black with little to no head. Chocolate and caramel notes. Some coffee too. Rated 8/2/09

Chocolaty Imperial Greatness. Malty "Opulent whirl of hops". Beautiful color. I wish I had the Yankee Candle Company version of this shit.
