Bottle with thanks to _angst_! Pours inky black with a reluctant small dark brown head that dissipates to a ring leaving good lacing. Aroma is deep milk chocolate, coffee, mocha, vanilla, roasted malts. Flavor is similar, hint of anise as well, medium sweet, medium bitter, rich cocoa coffee vanilla, with just a hint of chili burn on the finish; way more subdued on the chili than I expected. Finish is very strong roast, heavy lingering bitterness, some anise. There is some ABV burn, but deceptively little for 15%.

Bottle thanks to Kevin. Pours oily black tan head. Nose/taste of coffee, vanilla, chili pepper, roast chocolate, oak, milk chocolate and alcohol soaked chocolate bar. Full body. Not as good as AB04, but awesome.

Anniversary beer, basically their AB04 but with added vanilla and, whatever it is, naga chilli. Yellowish beige head, thin due to the extreme alcohol strength, colour near black, just a bit of chestnut glow under bright light. Very dense, powerful and exciting aroma revealing all kinds of cacao powder, bitter chocolate, black coffee, whisky, cider, cinnamon, pear syrup, peat, tobacco, vanilla, brown sugar and even that chilli. Taste begins assertively with a mouth-filling toasted bitterness, thick oily and powdery mouthfeel weighing heavy on the tongue, profound chocolatey maltiness, lots of spicy tones reminiscent of sweet tobacco, pepper and again that chilli, lots of dark fruits, finishing with a great deal of leafy hop bitterness, very very long, accompanied by an equally long warming alcohol reminiscent of coffee liqueur and cognac. Brewdog has flabbergastered me more than once but this is among the most impressive of them all, in my opinion.

Tap at CBC 2014 as BrewDog Dog B. Deep black in the glass, small head. Intense malty aroma. Starts heavy malty, intense earthy-oily, some notes of pepper and strong coffee. Warm-malty finish. Good!

Bottle frae Brew Dog on-line. Deep dark brown pour. Choc, chilli, vanilla, roast and booze in the snout. Complex, sweetish taste with notes of dark fruits, spice, choc, coffee and malts. Wonderfully warming like a snug alcoholic blanket. Ballsy and bloody tasty to boot.
