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.

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

MesandSim (7108) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 6, 2007
UPDATED: NOV 6, 2007 A Mes and Sim rate (33cl bottle at Chris O’s Shindig and numerous times since.)
Dark, almost black body with a creamy tan head. Sweet perfumey aroma, dark and complex with fruit, chocolate and plenty of malt. The flavour hits you with alcohol, a bit of coffee, heavily malted and some nice balancing hops. Thick dark chocolate and coffee finish with a pronounced and pleasing bitterness. Lovely stuff.

doublebock (331) - California, USA - MAR 14, 2009
Black color with limited carbonation. Aroma of dates and cola. Very chewy and thick, the high octane makes this a slow sipper. Roasted coffee maltiness with solid hoppy kick at the end.

thebeertourist (3981) - Oslo, NORWAY - NOV 10, 2007
Bottle. Deep dark brown, almost black with a small beige head. Vanilla, chocolate and espresso nose. Earthy notes as well. Nice woody chocolate, earthy character, good balance. A great complex brew, for dedicated beer dogs!
