4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle 46. Forgotten or intended? Doesn’t matter, the result is close to perfect. My second favourite stout after speedway so far. Doesn’t poor as thick and oily as other imperial stouts but has all the depth and complexity of one, new aromas pealing out once you let it warm up to room temperature. Quite highly carbonated but not much head even so. There is the cherry sweetness of the regular Tokyo combined with the strong earthyness, turf and sulfur of the whiskey barrel. Chocolate in the background.

33 cl bottle from Brewdog.com. Bottle nr 603. Pours black with a very small fizzy brown head that leaves quickly. Extreme highland whisky aroma with notes of roasted malts. Alcohol, rosted malts, wood and smoke to the tounge. Sweet and dry finish. Full body, low to none carbonation, low bitterness.

Big, black, sticky sweet. Smells of chocolate, whisky, and vanilla. Not much booze on the palate. If you can afford it, go for it..
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: APR 7, 2013 330 ml bottle. Bottle 1673 of 2237. #169. Bottled 26/05/2012. From brewdog.com.
Black colour with a tiny tan head.
The aroma is very strong with alcohol, malt, hops, mild tartness, ash, grass, liquorice and wood.
The flavour is portwine, dryness, roasted malt, alcohol, wood, bitterness, mild hops and lots of sugary sweetness. Slightly disappointing.

330ml botte - shared by rosenberg - thanks
Rich soy aroma. Black, small tan ring head. Strange plant-mattery lettuce leaf taste, and a fuck-ton of sugar. sugar sugar sugar. more sugar. did I mention sugar syrup. Yes a slightly ashy bacony roast in the finnish, but I can’t get over the fucking sugar. Oppressively sticky sweet palate. carbonation could not fix this no matter what level it was it. It was moderate. Finish a bit ashy and sugary. Drinkable, I guess.
