This beer pours an opaque dark brown color; almost like melted tootsie rolls. No head. The aroma has notes of grapes and chocolate. This beer is not for the weak at heart. Don't be frightened off by the intensity of this beer's smell. The flavor of this drink epically complex. Layers and layers of chocolate and dark cherries give way to a hint of prune. For an Imperial Stout, this beer is surprisingly thin but does an excellent job of coating the whole inside of your mouth. As you swallow this drink you can most certainly feel it going down your throat and into your belly. The finish on this drink, despite the ABV, is decently smooth. This beer helps me understand why people love sipping on whiskey or scotch on the rocks.

This is a beer to enjoy with a few friends during the cold winter months. The beer drinks more like a fine scotch then it does a beer. A 375ml bottle is enough for more than a few sniffers for a few friends. For a unique experience one must try this insane beer.

Had at Cask Republic in New Haven, CT.
L: Pours a deep brown/black with no head whatsoever leaving a thick wine-like lacing of all liquid down the glass.
S: Smells of alcohol - scotch and or whiskey, malts, and some sweet sugar/molasses aromas.
T: Tastes of scotch mainly with some malt and molasses mixed in with some dark fruit flavors and some coffee flavors mixed in as well.
M: HOT (but expected), warming, no carbonation.
D: Definitely one of those novelty beers you have to try if you have the chance, but not very drinkable in comparison to beer, but it would be if it were compared to a wine or a harder alcohol.

Holy.shit.
So I poured this beer for myself and a few friends into small sample glasses. Poured very dark with almost no head.
Smells kind of like scotch and molasses.
Taste scotch and coffee with not-so-subtle sweet flavors. Mild bitter aftertaste, but not overwhelming.
Very sticky...coats the tongue and throat. Flavors linger in the mouth indefinitely.
This beer is very hard to drink, but worth drinking. I could barely get down the sample glass, and most of my friends felt the same way.
It's worth trying this beer, but I don't think I have the desire to drink it more than a few times in my life. It's great in small doses, but too big a beer, and too expensive to buy again.

Appearance: Probably the best part here. Rich dark mahogany all the way through. Sexy viscous legs. Looks flat.
Aroma: Vanilla, charred ass, smoke, burny alcohol. Some nice barrel character lurking behind all the burnt rubber and smoke.
Taste: Charcoal, smoked meat, ferocious alcohol, peat.. Oh so much peat and phenolic gnarlyness. The lingering ghosts of imperial stouts passed. Not sweet at all.
Mouthfeel: Surprisingly inoffensive. Some carbonation! Rich and oily.
Drinkability: The lowest of the low, except perhaps chelada.
Humongous novelty, that's about it.

Thanks to urbancaver for the Hookup.
A-Pours a medium brown with absolutely no head
S-Very complex and extremely boozy. You can tell you are in for a ride once this hits your nose.
T-A lot better than I expected. Very complex, almost like their is an alcohol party going on in my mouth. I don't know if it is good or bad. Definitely drink it slow. To fast and the taste is really bad. Get some oak smokiness. Tastes more like a spirit than beer.
M-Loved it in my mouth, burned on the way down
D-I was thinking this would be a 0, so i guess a 2 is pretty good. Definitely would take me 2+ hours to finish whole bottle.

Appearance- pours reddish brown. Sort of clear.
Smell- very smokey with lots of sweetness on the nose. Sme brown sugar and maybe maple underneath
Taste- something almost antiseptic in the taste. Boozy but lots of character. Oak, smokiness, drk fruit flavors, maybe raisins. Can taste some peatiness i think
Mouthfeel- For a 32% "beer" it's got a great mouthfeel. Astringent almost.
Drinkability- i have to say im most impressed. Very drinkable for what it is

Got this and split it with 4 friends. I pured about 3 ounces into a snifter.
We had been wanting to try this for a while, and while 2 of my friends thought it was ok, I was highly disappointed. The one thing that makes this beer overbearing is the peat/leather/smoke smell it leave in the aftertaste. And this had nothing to do with the ABV. You could smell the beer from nearly across the room. I can taste the smoke aftertaste hours later and is just too much to ever drink more than what I had. I love many of Brewdogs beers, but this beer is just way to over the top with stuff I didn't like. I would not recommend anyone waste their money on this unless you get drawn in by the shock factor like I did.

One of the worst experiences ever. There is a question: Is it still a beer? One of my friends told me, it tastes like soya sauce, but it is quite expensive soya sauce. Every components in TNP are over the top. It is too much alcoholic, bitter, coffee-like something which is really far from regular beer.

Very lucky to have been able to try this - about a one ounce pour. Neglected to take note of batch/bottled on date.
First, a disclaimer: This beer isn't really a beer. It's distilled, and in many ways, much more like a whisky or other dark liquor. It doesn't really fit the category of an imperial stout. I've rated it more as a liquor than an imperial stout. That said, here's what I found:
Presentation: brown paper wrapping with hand drawn sharpie penguin and "32%" on it. Taped around the bottle, and tied around the neck with a piece of white string. Green glass bottle, corked (synthetic, black) and caged. Attached is a bottle re-stopping device.
A - it's a translucent brown color, no head or carbonation to speak of (most likely due to the manufacturing process of freeze distillation), but this beer has some very nice legs to it, which is pretty uncommon in beer.
S - fairly complex, and surprisingly not a lot of booze in it. I got some roasted oats/barley; brown sugar; a spicy tomato, almost barbecue sauce smell; and then a bit of alcohol.
T - Surprisingly complex. There is the sharp and somewhat bitter vegetable spice to it, and a intensely sweet and boozy warmth when you swallow. There's some smoke, some wood notes, and a strong reminiscence of barbecue.
M - drying alcohol dominates, but its got a full smooth body. It's a bit chewy, even, and leaves a tingling sensation on the tongue (most likely from the dryness of the alcohol).
D - It's not very drinkable, as beers go, but for being pretty strong and distinct, it's not too bad.

330ml bottle (small amount) poured into a snifter glass then stoppered
Date on bottle: 02-12-20
Batch number: 010
A: Pours medium brown, no head, no lacing, no sign of life. If this is a stout I'm not seeing it.
S: A word of warning - do not stick your nose in the glass; waft the thing or you'll get a faceful of BOOM. Intensely alcoholic for a beer. Almost medicinal. A little too intense for my liking. Something that is more akin to a spirit than a beer, which I guess at 32% makes some sense, but it also means that it overpowers everything else. There is a hint of roasted malt and maybe a bit of sweetness at it warms up.
T: This is where it gets interesting. Drink it too fast and all you'll get is alcohol burn, but let it linger for a while in your mouth and you'll get a bit more. Very dark, roasted, smokey (almost burnt) malts late in the middle and a hint of vanilla disguised in the alcohol burn backend.
M: Some definite alcohol burn (can't be avoided, I suppose) but smooth drinking otherwise. No carbonation whatsoever.
D: Overall, it's an interesting one. Is it a beer? Is it a spirit? Is it a hybrid? I'm inclined to say it's more towards spirit than beer, but it's not necessarily a bad one. The best comparison would probably be brandy. Whilst the look, aroma, and mouthfeel all scream spirit, the taste shows more complexity and differentiates it from both beer and spirits. It's perhaps a bit clumsily balanced, but that's to be expected from such a radical experiment. It's expensive but it's at least worth a try for the uniqueness - share the damage between a few friends! Definitely not sessionable, quite the opposite - the stopper is there for a reason - a small tipple should do for a taste.

Got this bottle from a friend who ordered it.
I was honestly not expecting much after having the Sink the Bismark and being unbelievably unimpressed. BUT WOW, I will seek this beer out again for sure.
Pours a dark mahogany brown body with no head at all.
The smell is very complex. It's filled with bourbon notes. Layered with vanilla, burn oak, and roasted marshmellow. Notes of chocolate, roasted barley and super sweet caramel. It's actually a very acceptable and rich nose.
The taste is unique. It is a beer that should be sipped and held in the mouth. If you sip and swallow to fast, you will get way to much peated malt burn at the back end. If slowly sipped, this beer is filled with roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and hints of smoked malt. It has a nearly charcoal character that is layered over lots of vanilla and burnt oak towards the finish.
Very sharp and thin body that burns a good bit at the end.
NOT drinkable at all haha, it's hard to imagine anyone drinking more than half of a bottle let alone a whole bottle.

Bottle into a shot glass...Light brown, that is very watery looking, no carbonation at all, not much to look at...Incredibly strong aroma of fusel alcohol, roasty, very hot stinging my nostril, a tinge of peppers, interesting but not very good...The taste is horrendous! Its so hot, burns. Burnt alcohol and charred wood Is all I get this. There were 3 of us and we couldn't finish a 2oz pour.
I was so fascinated to try this and this is beyond terrible. I total liquor but not a good one. SKIP this.

Poured from a bottle into a champagne glass at a BrewDog tasting.
A: Red-brown, thinish head, with thick, brown legs. It looks like a brandy.
S: A strong smell! Apricot schnapps? The brandy visual isn't far from the taste -- fruity, grapey, boozy, and delicious.
T: Fruits (grape more than apricot), heather herbs, chocolates. The aftertaste is long, bitter, and slightly chalky. More like spirit than a beer.
M: Smooth and sticky, at times almost too much so.
D: Shockingly drinkable for a beer so strong, but it's still like liquor. Strong, almost cloying, but always fun, and absolutely worth trying once (or thrice!).

Opened for my best friend's wedding. Poured in a plastic snifter in the party bus on the way to the reception hall. Dark drinks on a bus is a bad idea, just so you know. I'm kind of stupid that way.
A - Pours a not-so-dark crystal clear brown with no head, no carbonation, and thick liquor legs.
S - Smokey, oakey, coffee, dried fruit. Pretty powerful. Also very boozy.
T - Oof! Yikes, this is one upfront blast of beer liquor. The booze, oaks, bitterness, coffee, and roasty malt really overpower any complexity this one might have. A liquid wake-up call like Four Loko. Except TNP actually tastes like something other than feces and won't give you a frickin' heart attack. Anyone who drinks that Loko crap is out of their damn minds and...uh, where was I?
M - Smooth like a good whiskey but very harsh in its alcohol burn.
D - It's 32% ABV. Do I really even need to say anything else?
Overall - I'm glad I got it just to try extreme beer, but you'd be better served buying a bottle of Utopias, since it's far and away more skillfully crafted and enjoyable than this one, which almost feels like it was brewed on a dare. Too bad I tried it far after Brewdog's pissing match with Schorschbräu. Now to look into getting a bottle of Start The Future...

look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 2
Appearance:
As I pulled the black cork out of the tiny 330ml bottle there was actually a decent pop noise that came from the slender neck. As I poured the bottle in three small snifters, there was a tiny amount of carbonation that formed on the head then quickly went away which I was very surprised about. Amazingly this is not as dark as I predicted, and as it comes out it appears a very dark brown with some reddish hues thrown in. Not the typical jet black syrupy ale which most imperial stouts are. As I hold this up to the light there is no chunks or haze which makes for a beautiful presentation, and as I give a swirl there is a huge amount of lacing sliding down the walls which looks like cough syrup mixed with pancake syrup and honey.
Smell:
Wow! There is a huge nose of peated barley right of the start compounded by loads of smoky goodness that reminds me of a pit barbecue. The next aspect that really punches you in the face is the blistering alcohol heat that is almost unbearable and this really resembles more of a whiskey or scotch than any form of beer. In the finish there is some dark fruit and raisin aroma that is very faint and is overpowered by the smoke.
Taste:
I really wish you can see my face right now because this is an assault to my taste buds. All I can get peated whiskey and nothing else, besides the alcohol. There is something that lingers through that resembles wet earthy moldy wood and dark cherries. I am willing to say that this has a better base beer than the Sink the Bismarck which was entirely too hot while this at least has flavor complexity. As I keep sipping away and it warms up a bit there is a faint amount of vanilla that keeps trying to poke through but again I keep coming back to the smoke which is just too powering. I would love to try this beer if they didn't put it into the scotch whiskey casks or if they used a straight American bourbon barrel because that peated scotch is just a little to much.
Drinkability:
Overall this is a complex beer that is just not for me. There is just entirely too much smoke and burnt wood flavors going on to be enjoyable for my palate. The alcohol content is surprisingly smooth for such a high amount but don't be fooled because it still is very sharp and accents the burnt malts and roast well. I would say the drinkability is very low on this beer because it is meant to be such a slow sipper and something that needs to be shared with a friend. If you can afford the hefty price tag ($80) and don't mind smoky whiskeys this might be up your ally. I am thankful that I got the opportunity to try this beer but it will not be something that I am searching for again.

Had the chance to try a good size sample at a tasting I went to
Sample was poured into my little three philospher tasting glass
The appearance was dark black with just the tiniest bit of head. Nothing else could be said about lacing or the lack of head as you can understand.
The aroma was dominate of coffee grounds and bits of charred/roasted malts. Dark fruit along with prunes, raisins, and hints of chocolate were present if you looked for them. Surprisingly the alcohol was not as present in the smell as I though it would.
The taste upfront was actually pretty good with raisins, cherries and bits of chocolate and coffee. Midway is where a pronounce rubbing alcohol heat kicks in with smokiness and charred malts. Bitterness might be from black malts used I suppose.
Full bodied and full of alcohol heat going down
Overall I would not have bought a bottle myself, but for what its worth with the high alcohol heat, I thought it was ok.

Small sample at the Beerbistro brewdog dinner, and at this strength, a small sample is all you need.
Intense black pour with the faintest whisp of a tan head. Big tobacco nose, with strong ash tray aromas mixing with stale coffee grounds and a surprisingly light alcohol. Considering its weight, the alcohol isn't as prominent in the flavour as I would expect, and what I'm getting instead is some really powerful tobacco and smoke notes. There's coffee and dark chocolate in the background too. An interesting mix, but the concentration of flavours I'm not overly fond of doesn't really do much for me. Medium oily mouthfeel.
Interesting and worth trying, but not really all that great a beer. Funny, my favourite of the whole night was ther 5am Saint, which by Brewdog standards is a session beer.

Reviewed from notes. Sampled when James came to Houston a while back, and again at a BA Stout tasting.
A: Pours a dull, nearly opaque brown color. A tiny bubbly tan head forms, and in an instant is gone. No lace, and looks dead and lifeless.
S: Not as unpalatable as I was expecting. Sweet toffee with some figs and raisins. Plenty of smoke, and of coarse alcohol.
T: This is pretty unpalatable here though. Big and boozy. Ethanol and fusel like. Moldy dry wood, smoke, ash, and rubber. Cloying sweetness and some raisins try to make its presents known.
M/D: Really weak. Not very viscous, but thin and watery. Way under carbonated as well. Do I even have to say it? Not something I ever care to drink again.
The good news is I did not have to pay for either of my two oz samples. Both times I think it was a drain poor though. What was the point of this again? As harsh and unenjoyable a beer I have had in a while.

Served in a Dogfish Head snifter.
Huge thanks to JMBSH for this bottle!
I knew I couldn't handle this beast on my own, so the Man's Weekend provided me with the group tasting I so sorely needed. This thing pours a bleak black-brown topped by only an insinuation of a head. The nose provides a quick punch of alcohol (shocker, I know), backed by some dark chocolate, figs, brown sugar, blackened pork, and charcoal. Whoofah, what a smell! It still burns a bit every time I think about sniffing this BMD. The taste begins with some charred buttery biscuits, then allows the alcohol to let loose on the tongue with some flame throwers, then finishes off with some smoke and charcoal. I have never experienced anything quite like this before, and I don't expect to very often hence. Mama! The body is pretty thick and heavy, with a light moderate carbonation (surprisingly high, if you ask me) and a seriously hot and strong feel. This thing kicks harder than my buddy's slug gun (and my shoulder'll tell you just how hard that is). Overall, this was quite the experience; I'm not entirely sure it works on all levels, but it certainly doesn't fail. Though I do not see too many more weaponized brews on the horizon (or weaponized animals, for that matter), I hope I am able to at least see their effects first-hand like I was able to witness this mushroom cloud.

Partial amount was given to me to enjoy in a pint glass
Thanks to TMoney2591 for allowing me to share in this interesting brew. It pours thick and dark. There is no head to be found. When held to the light beams of ruby shine through. The smell is nice and strong as I would expect. The initial smells are of bourbon and smoked oak. In fact those smells are strong enough to mask any other smells that may be present, but I detect both a roasted coffee and chocolate malt smell. But damn they smell real tasty. The taste is exactly like the smell. The only differences for myself come in the smoke flavor. I can no decipher the difference between the oak flavor and the mesquite smoke that is ever-present in the beer. In fact the flavor is intensely smokey to the point where it seems as if you're consuming cured meats. As good as this beer is and how complex the flavors are I must admit the insanely high ABV stings the tongue to the point it's hard to peel the layers of flavor that exist. Treat this beer like a fine bourbon and you'll be just fine. Meaning sip it and enjoy the parade of flavors in your mouth.

My buddy William Wallace (his actual, legal name given to him by his parents) had this shipped from Scotland. TNP is one of those beers you really only get to try once, if ever. The knowledge of being one of the few to try a bottle really adds to the experience. As many other reviewers have noted, this was very much like drinking a fine Scotch or strong, smokey liqueur. It poured out a dark, blackish brown, with no head whatsoever. At 32%ABV this isn't the type of beer you toss back. Small sips and you really could enjoy the not-so-subtle taste of this beer. There was almost a slight saltiness to the smoke flavor of this beer. The oak gave it a woody aroma much like a scotch would have. I'd say TNP was like smoking a cigar with the finest smoked bacon money can buy. None of this is very surprising, as Brew Dog doesn't disappoint, and for what it cost TNP fared well for itself. I highly recommend it, if you can find a bottle.

Poured a dark coffee brown into a tasting snifter, no head, some stickiness to the glass, very flat and smooth looking.
Aroma of smoke, burnt oak and alcohol vapors.
The smoky alcohol flavors dominated the taste at first, then some anise and dark fruits came thru. The smokiness and alcohol remained very strong.
Heavy body, no carbonation and the the high alcohol presented a strong warmth from mouth to stomach.
This is definitely a sipper. This extreme beer was difficult to rate, since it was more in tune to a whiskey or scotch. I purchased it for its uniqueness. While drinking it I thought I was enjoy a scotch and cigar at the same time.

Brewdog fest samplethon with buddies-8/16/10 from notes:
Poured into a small sampling glass. This brew has a dark cola color with minimal to no head but strong legs on the sides of the glass showing the alcohol. The aroma is so strong and smokey full of peat moss. There was also some spice and floral notes. The taste was so overwhelmingly smokey to begin with I thought I would not be able to finish, however that settles and you can really enjoy the complex flavors. There was a strong dried fruit flavor with prune, raisin and licorice. There was also a decent hop presence.
This brew was something to behold. What could it be, what had it become, what will it turn into? You HAVE to try it yourself!
