Brewdog Shepherds Bush. Keg. Opaque black - brown beer, small cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Mellow dark malts, trace of cream. Very mild coffee. Little spice before a fairly dry and crisp finish. Decent but doesn’t seem particularly CDA like.

Keg at Bad CJ. It pours opaque black with a small tan head. The nose is rich, decent roast, coffee, dark fruits, plum, rocky road and smores. The taste is bitter, charred wood, earthy, cacoa, burnt wood, mild acidity, umami, dark fruits and earth with quite a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Perhaps too dry and charred. Flavorsome anyways. Not bad at all.

Keg at BrewDog Shoreditch - London. Pours black-brown with a beige cream head. The nose holds coffee grounds, burnt pine, flinty minerals. Light-medium sweet flavor with burnt toast, faint cocoa, more burnt but still lightly oily pine, orange. Medium bodied with average carboantion. Lightly resinous to close, more bitter burnt pine, baking cocoa. Pretty nice.
