Jet Black Heart

Brewery: BrewDog
Supplier: Brewdog Dundee Bottledog

Thought I would christen my new Brewdog glass with a brewdog beer. This is one of their newest core range beers, and is an oatmeal milk stout; made using Magnum and Sorachi Ace hops along with some oats and wheat. I served this chilled.
Appearance: A deep black, even when held to the light. There's a thin head that fades quickly, and is a light mocha colour. 
Aroma: Coffee and a little acid.
Flavour: Sweet on the front with some berries, chocolate, and coffee.
Body: Smooth, but a little too fizzy.
Aftertaste: The back continues with coffee and a little coffee, but with a bitterness. This sweetens up, and a little tobacco coming through. 

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 8, a nice easy drinking sweet porter. Hits my sweet tooth.

Price Range: £1.79 (normally £1.89) for a 330ml bottle, a great price - I can see why it's part of their core.

Food Pairings: Some nice sourdough, or rye bread. Something simple and salty to go with the sweet complex notes.
