Crowley from DogTap Ellon. It pours opaque black with a sturdy, lasting tan head. The aroma is kind of what you would expect.... Intoxicating and sweet, intense milk chocolate, vanilla, icing sugar, toasted marshmallow, cake frosting and cookies. The taste is not as intense as the aroma suggests, bitter - sweet, decent roasted malt base, coffee grounds, chocolate, plenty of vanilla cake frosting, gooey marshmallow, chocolate gateaux, toasted spice, charred malt and a touch of alcohol with a roasty finish. Medium+ body and moderate carbonation. I was worried this would have been far too sweet and artificial but it's not all that. Decent enough for what it is.

Can. Nice pour: dark colour with stable head. Aromas of chocolate and roasted coffee beans. Very smooth, aromas of chocolate and roasted malt. Slightly bitter finish, but overall quite pleasant

On draught at BrewDog DogTap.

Can from Kvickly @ Home. Pours black with a creamy light brown head, lacings. Aroma of roasted malt, rich coffee, vanilla, dark chocolate. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, a bit thin, roast malt, caramel, coffee, chocolate. Medium body, soft carbonation, light sweet finish. Quite thin for the 9% ABV. 070121

Hazy, very odd and crazy coloured pure purple coloured body with a thinnish, fast-dying and nice tan coloured head that's only a single centimetre tall at first, but fades to just a thin layer a few seconds afterwards, but the purple and crazy body is nice and completely odd for a beer at all! Aroma of mud, earth, lactose, flowers and a bit of spices, but there is definitely a lot of funk and odd notes in here, without any blackcurrant or fruit notes at all, oddly. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich, lactose, cream, milk and grape notes show through without any of the complexity or bitterness of the blackcurrants, but at least some fruits here with a dry herbal flavour from the grapes and a big hit of lactose and creaminess at the end with a lot of alcohol and pungency that's detected throughout. Aftertaste shows some cream and earthy notes with a good deal of dry and grassy fruitiness along with a good deal of sugars (perhaps mainly from the lactose) and a lot of dry and subdued fruit elements at the end that are much more grapey than blackcurrant-y, but they at least show some range. Overall, an odd and pungent beer that starts from the absolutely crazy look here in the glass to a dry and pungent scent, but leaving more complexity at the end from the sugars and alcohol here. Pretty odd, but relatively nice, and even this has nothing at all to do with an 'IPA' in the slightest bit, it's an interesting beer to sample if you can find it. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Gainesville, Virginia on 06-March-2021 for US$3,29 sampled at my house here in Washington on 04-January-2021, when I got my power back following a small storm here in the city, but that's what having a real house means here in an old neighborhood.

Lemon, malt, pine, and grapefruit peel aroma. Pale yellow with moderate white head and effervescence. Floral citrus, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter pine and grapefruit peel flavor. Good, crisp body.

Poured, a fabulous looking nitro stout with a slightly too large head. The dense head doesn't let too much through for the nose though. Tastes like a cool, sweet creamy coffee with a dash of vanilla. Nuttiness too . Like a cold Irish coffee. Very, very smooth.
