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.

330ml bottle, at home with renffisch, 17th June 2008. Pours a very dark, red-tinged brown. Lovely complex taste and aroma - apricots, chocolate, coffee, caramel, treacle, molasses, hops. Creamy & smooth yet not too cloying, this is a very drinkable stout indeed.

Intensely chocolatey nose. Pours slightly ruby black with a tan head. Flavour is rich and full of coffee and licorice with a long finish of cocoa underpinned with some peat and some vinousness.

Bottle, thanks after4ever! Pours opaque black with a lacy tan head. Sweet aroma of brown sugar, grain and coffee. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Sweet coffee taste, moderated by earthy hops. Somewhat astringent and smoky finish.
