BrewDog Tokyo

ABV: 18.2%
OG: 1140
IBU's: 90
Malts: Marris Otter, Dark Crystal, Caramalt, Chocolate Malt, Roast Barley
Hops: Galena
Twist: Brewed with Jasmine and Cranberries. Dry-Hopped then aged on oak chips.

Black stout pours in glass. Head is very nice, creamy, stoutlike. Aroma is a bit sweet roasty malts. Taste is very nice, it has all kinds of flavors, but not bitterness, until in the aftertaste a bit. I have to let this warm up a bit and continue after that...

There is some portwine like sweetness and chocolate, also black coffee with sugar. I think this is kind of basic imperial stout (I mean not a particularly BrewDog "hopbomb", which this is not), but can't say for sure, yet, as this was a bit too cold as it was in my cellar (maybe 5-10 degrees).

Very warming (obviously, 18.2% alc) and relaxing beer, which is slightly too sweet for my taste, but still fucking good imperial stout (which this is, in a traditional way) for these kinds of one beer sessions, when you just want to taste some really great beer and this definitely is. Thumbs up BrewDog!

**** Great
