Welcome to the world of Cocoa Psycho, a liquid dimension where pure indulgence reigns.
This Imperial Stout borrows from the voluptuary decadence of 18th Century Russia, with its extravagantly smooth blend of crushed coffee beans, cacao nibs and dark malts.
Dig past the infusions of vanilla pods and toasted oak chips and eventually you’ll come face to face with the madness required to make this beer: a kind of depraved logic that would make Rasputin himself proud.
To fully unleash the aromas and bittersweet luxury of this stout we recommend drinking it from a stemmed beer glass before taking a sledgehammer to a Faberge egg.
Malts: Extra Pale, Wheat, Cara, Smoked, Black and Roasted Barley
Hops: Cascade, Fuggles and Goldings

Flaske fra polet: et nydelig sjokoladeskum som smaker nydelig og legger forventnningene høyt. Desverre legger skummet seg raskt, men forventingene og inntrykkene holder seg. Brewdog skuffer sjelden, og ikke denne gangen heller. Duften av kaffe, kakaopulver og mørke malter kompletteres av en tilsvarende smak som er forbausende slank og lettdrikkelig når man tar vinkelhastigheten i betraktning. Saftig ettersmak bidrar til at dette er farlig snop, men godt for humør og helse. Burde være fratragsberettiget.

Bottle at Tadg’s BrewDog event. Nose of cocoa, chewy fudge, soy, burnt wood. Very chocolaty flavor, rich and thick, cherries. Burnt and bitter finish. Light soy. Great, with a nice sweetness and a good balance created by alcohol heat and bitter roasting.

Dark brown color, firm brown head. Roasted, cocoa aroma. Medium-bodied, creamy palate. Cocoa, hints of tobacco, backing alcohol. When warms up, tiny veggie notes. Very pleasant, slow drinking beer.

Bottle. It pours a dark brown body, tending towards black, and topped by a brown body. Lots of cocoa in the aroma, with alcohol, some roasted malts and coffee hints. Dry on the palate, warming and full-bodied. There’s lots of cocoa in the flavor too, doing most of the work. Some chocolate and coffee, and a little touch of bitterness. Oily. Lasting cocoa finish. Pretty pleasant this one. 131116
