Slightly cloudy deep copper color with a wafer thin light tan head and a decent amount of lacing. Aroma of Chivas Regal, hints of scotch and oak. Flavor begins with almond and hints of chocolate, a slight edge of hoppy bitterness, and then finishes much more on the sour side. Interesting and complex.

Jan 7, 2010 11.2 fl oz capped bottle: sampled fairly fresh in 2010...pours a deep midnight with a generous taupe cream that leaves a fairly thick lace. Dark, yeasty Stone aroma with a wonderful peaty-ness and milky chocolaty-ness. Fairy thin, though outrageously sticky palate, fresh pine cone bitterness that lingers with a clean fruitiness. Finishes with a hop bitterness that has an interesting chocolaty bite. As it warms, it gets even more ’green’, very fresh, vegetable flavour along with hints of the strong alcohol. A stunning combination of a rare, peaty, Islay Scotch and a strong, fresh American Hoppy beer...well done! Cheers, to my good buddy D-Bag for the treat.

Jan 7, 2010 Great style! Poors dark brown with a medium brown head. Lovely pine aroma with some citrus and rosted chocolate malts. Flavor is a really nice balance between the medium to heavy bitterness and the chocolate almost syrup sweetness. Great beer!

Jan 6, 2010 Bottle as shown. Pours a very dark brown with a small paperthin light tan head that diminishes quickly to nothing leaving spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is a smokey malt with dark fruit and alcohol. Medium mouthfeel with a rich roasted malt with chocolate and smoke with a nice dry finish. Alcohol is present but not overpowering. A very good American strong ale from Brew Dog.

Jan 6, 2010 Pours brownish black with thick tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and light hops. Taste is loaded with smoke and roasted malt. Not as much hops as I would have thought. Just Ok.

Jan 6, 2010 Malty bitterness drives this brew. It has a slight "guinnessy" nose and the mouthfeel is clean, long and enjoyably bitter. 3.5-5

Jan 5, 2010 Dark black poured from the bottle with a thin tan head. Aromas of sweet burnt caramel. Carbonated and medium thin on the palate. Flavors of coffee, roasted malt, and bitter hops. Pretty dry on the finish. Not bad.

Jan 5, 2010 12oz Bottle @ Paul’s gathering. Black pour, this black ipa smells like bud and roasted malt. Great flavors, roasted and hop flavors mesh really well.

Jan 5, 2010 Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Poured a dense dark brown , virtually black colour with a decent sized tan head. Pretty poky aroma that promised much, with a load of resinous hops, dark chocolate and malt . Flavour was initially hop heavy (deliciously so) then evolved into a chocolatey, roasty feast. Oh yeah, bish bash bosh as the rubber lipped chef might say. Lingering bitter finish. Darn clever stuff, want more...
