Serve in Snifter

Tap @ The Dome. Almost black with a creamy beige fading yet lacing head. Aroma is sweet fruit, berries, cocoa, flowers, vanilla, a slight woody undertone. A fat bodied beer with barely no carbonation, yet outrageously drinkable, with a sweet complex lingering taste, balanced by a light acidity.

pours very dark slightly cloudy with a short lasting foam. nose is mostly alcohol with a hint of dried fruits. taste is alcohol, alcohol and alcohol accompanied by a strong sweetness and some burnt malt. palate full body, oily feel, flat carbonation with a long and bitter finish.

A bottle of beer that costs more than a typical bottle of wine and has the same alcohol as a fortified wine. A risk (it could be filth), but have been meaning to try this for a while. Pours thick and black, helps if you slap the bottom of the bottle to get the last out. Massive roasted aroma with chocolate, maybe a bit of liquorice as well. Really big flavours, all the usual roasted chocolate, coffee and liquorice you’d expect, but also fruit like raisins and maybe cherries. Sweetness balanced perfectly by bitterness. Long, complex finish which lasts for ages. One to sip and savour and shockingly drinkable for a beer of ludicrous strength. Could be a good alternative as an after dinner drink.

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).
