Style: Imperial Stout
Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

Serve in Snifter

330 ml bottle via trade. Batch 002. Best by 14/12/19. Whew, had it just in the nick of time. Pours a dark amber-hued brown with a small tan head. Aroma of dark fruits (cranberry especially), earth, charred oak, spices (must be the jasmine, though that one is hard to pick out alone), and warming booze. Flavor of woody booze, jasmine, cranberry, brown sugar, caramel malts, tobacco, earth, and deep roast. Medium-full bodied, with a warming, roasty, boozy mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Pretty neat imperial stout.

02/02/2012 Bought at Camperdown Cellars in Sydney. 25 AUD. Pours opaque with a thin off white foam. Aroma is whiskey, raisin, oak, vanilla, and coffee. Heavy mouthfeel with taste of medicine, oak, cranberries, dates, prune, brown sugar and vanilla. Excellent beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours black with a thin off white foam. Aroma is soaked with bourbon, oak, vanilla, and alcohol. Big mouthfeel with powerful fruit and toasted flavors. Oak, vanilla, and condensed caramel linger on the tongue. Sweet finish and alcohol dryness. Excellent beer.

"Purchased for $11.99 at State Line in Elkton MD. This is Batch 07, Best by 1-15-2021. I poured this into a shot glass and sipped. No snifter was around. A - Deep brown, TONS of amber on the edges but no head. The alcohol fingers reside on the edges of the glass for a while. S - Cranberries, juniper, pine, figs and grapes T - Vanilla, lots of heat, citrus and pineapple! M - HUGE mouthfeel. Mild carbonation and an intense lingering. O - AMAZING. The price is right for an 18% beer. I love this beer and have 4 at the house just sitting around for another 10 years. Too bad this is retired. It’s a fantastic brew."

Hats off to Brewdog for producing such uniqueness. Flavours of alcohol and dry fruits with notes of plum and wood. Definitely worth the try.

Bottle (shared with friends!) Incredible alcohol aroma, definite medicinal aroma. Very tasty (in small doses).

Ok- so I had this after the Stone 15th on draft... Thought with the 18% that it would’ve been stronger tasting. Surprisingly it doesn’t taste very strong at all. Aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. Slight burnt toasty flavor. Good, but could be more thick if ya ask me ;-)
