Big thank you to Erzengel for this 0,33 l gem. BLACK in the glass, small fast fading head. Intensive stouty aroma, dark berryfruity malty vanilla stuff, also boozy. Taste is raosted malty, coffee and berryfruity, some wood, but not as complex as I expected. Sticky sweet and boozy. Increasing bitterness in the aftertaste. No real carbonation. Enjoyable stuff.

Rated at Unknown venue. Lt. Sweet, stingy roasty and earthy with some oxidized notes, hints of toffee and syrup. Too sweet and stuffy.

Pretty much an opaque dark brown beer, a few tan bubbles cling to the edge of the glass. Smooth and light palate, decent fine carbonation. Smooth and mellow dark malts, a touch of chocolate. Dominant flavour is a smooth and simple brown sugar. Some fruity barrelling spirit on the back end. Light spicy finish. It's fine but quite simple. Is this one of the beers that marked the downturn of Brewdog? Quite possibly...

Stark malziger Beginn, cremig, mild röstig, Noten von Toffee, das Ganze kann aber nicht über einen wässrigen Hitnergrund hinwegtäuschen. Ansteigende Bitterkeit von geringem Level aus, etwas brotig, weiterhin wässrig im Hintergrund. Langer malziger Abgang, cremig, Schokolade. 8/9/11/10/9/9

Spotty beige head left a cover on a black still body. Berries, malt & toffee aroma. Medium to full bodied, sharp on the front with a fuller back & clean aft. Toffee, plum, berries, spices & tangy tastes.
