Keg at BrewDoge Paddington, 09/05/2025.
Chestnut brown pour topped with a beige head.
Nose is toffee, dried fruit rinds, dates, sultanas, cocoa sprinkle, mellow barrel tones.
Taste comprises chocolate shavings, oaked bite, toffee, pipe tobacco, fruit cake mix, whisky spike, light funky undertones.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a lick of booze.
Tidy sipper.

Keg at Brewdog Waterloo. Aroma is suprisinly light. Coffee amd tar if I stretch my snozz muscles. Darkest brown. Struggles to provide some opaquacity (new word?). More flavourwise - sweet but burnt caramel. Coffee. Light liqourice. Tangy. Boozy finish. Medium bodied. Slick to oily. Sticky. Average carbonation..Long somewhat astringent finish. Hmm... multiple personality Export. Both big and restrained simultaneously. But overall I likes.

Keg at Brewdog Lothian Road. Pours clear red brown with no real head. Seems to be the same beer as the previous correspondents have had, but from the beer descriptions it drinks more like the twisted porter. Any road up, there's chocolate and booze going on, something nutty too. An enjoyable flight overall.
