330ml bottle as a gift from danlo. Thanks Ed! It’s very dark. Very dark brown with no head. Weird aroma that I can't really place. I suppose it smells like tequila and stout together but to me it smells like robots, chocolate and fear. Seriously there’s quite a lot of stone fruit along with agave syrup. And chocolate annd black grape. And fear. Tastes of tequila and dark caramel. Sweet but not unreasonably so. Thick, oily body with almost no carbonation. Joking aside, I love tequila but I’m not 100% convinced it belongs anywhere near a beer. Nice to see BrewDog brewing something interesting though. And overall it’s a nice drink, just not amazing by impy stout standards.

Well... I have to admit that I was excited when reading the label – tequila barrel aged stout is definitely something different. I was less excited when turning the bottle around and looked at a list of ingredients more akin to an energy drink – maltodextrin is not something that you find in a lot of beers. Anyhow, back to business: jet-black pour with a slither of a white head. Aromas of wood (oak?), dried fruit and tequila, a hint of vanilla. Taste is dark chocolate, some fruit, tequila, finishing with a slightly weird aftertaste, might be the sweetener.
