BrewDog Original Dogma

Bottle: Filtered.

Previous sold as Speed Ball.

A strong ale, brewed with guarana, Californian poppy, kola nut and Scottish heather honey. A conspiracy of trans-continental ingredients infused with some devastatingly BrewDog imaginative thinking.

4.1 Koromfekete színű, gyönyörű, óriási, tömör krémszínű habbal, ami jó sokáig megmarad. Illatában erős pörkölt jelleg dominál, némi fűszeres felhanggal. Íze fenomenális. Az erős feketecsokis törzs köré jellegzetes mézes, gyenge mákos lepel borul, némi fűszerességgel megtoldva. Lecsengésében a pörkölt jelleg, és a méz dominál. Igen testes sör. Nagyon finom, bármikor meginnám.

3.2 Refrigerated 75 cl brown bottle poured into a glass. Translucent medium brown with no head. Aroma is nuts, medium body, low carbonation, and no lacing. Taste is caramel malt, some chocolate, and some butterscotch.

3.5 500 ml bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a clear brown color with a small off white head. The aroma and flavor have a bigger malt character, caramel, wood, honey, a mild nutty component, some fruity character and mild herbal notes, interesting, a hint of age.

3.5 Bottle shared by tmoney99 pour cola brown with thin tan head. Nose peaty, light nut, caramel, toffee. Taste big malt, light peat, nutty, caramel. Finish with honey nut.

2.4 En god smag af humle og en hel del krydderier i smagen også. Den kunne godt have haft lidt mere sødme.

3.1 Liquide noir, mousse blanche et un mélange bizarre d’amertume et de sucre. Probablement le guarana.

3.5 Bottled - Black colour, medium creamy tan head, good retention. Chocolate and slight coffee aromas, some herbal notes, alcohol and cough syrup. Taste is bitter, some cocoa, cough syrup and floral hops. Medium to full body, soft carbonation, dry roasty finish. Exciting ale but not my favourite.

3.6 Rated on 8-30-2015 (Bottle best before 11-09-2015) The aroma is honey, herbs and spices. The flavor mimics the aroma. This beer’s mouthfeel is smooth and this is a medium bodied beer. This beer is very quaffable with a very good flavor. It is worth trying and is a beer I would drink again.

4.1 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a head of foamy light brown colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a no visible carbonation opaque dark brown colored body and a fair lacing. The nice aroma was mild medicinal spicy dark malt herb and burnt malt. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The nice flavor contained notes of mild medicinal cloves spices herbal burnt malt and dark malt. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

3.5 Aroma is roasty malts, caramel, clove, light earthiness. Taste is medium body malts with a light roastiness, creaminess and slight earthiness. Finishes relatively smoothly with pretty good malt/hop balance. Appearance is a dark black with a medium head that retains fairly well.

3.8 Delicious. Had a blocked nose but still managed to pick up good scents of honey and chocolate. Very smooth going in, gentle head that dissipates quickly. Awesome beer.

3.9 22.4 ounce bottle into snifter, best before 7/16/2015. Pours crystal clear very dark brown color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of caramel, toffee, toast, brown bread, nuttiness, honey, cola, herbal tea, light pepper, light chocolate, plum, pear, apple, floral, grass, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt, spices, and fruity yeast ester notes; with good strength. Taste of caramel, toffee, toast, brown bread, nuttiness, honey, cola, herbal tea, light pepper, light chocolate, plum, pear, apple, floral, grass, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Light amount of herbal/spice bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toffee, brown bread, nuttiness, honey, light fruits, herbal, floral, grass, light chocolate, light pepper, and herbal/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness, complexity, and balance of dark/bready malt, spices, and fruity/earthy yeast flavors; with a great malt/spice balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and fairly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice spiced brown ale. All around very nice balance, robustness, and complexity of dark/bready malt, spices, and fruity/earthy yeast flavors; and very smooth to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

3.5 Bottle at home. Pours copper, taste is sweet and malty, light smoky toffee.

3.4 interesting spiced ale, kind of in a class of it’s own, though the clover honey is the main player in the aroma and flavor. i’m assuming the other aroma and flavor is larely kola nut, and you get a nice malt bse and a touch of hops as well. the originally very pleasing aroma and flavor grew a little tiresome as the beer reached room temp. very nice as a sampler, decent as a whole brew."

2.2 Burnt aroma bit of boils vegetables.well taste is strange.not sure what it is but after more sips feels too much.

2.8 A dark brown color with a one finger head. A nice spicy, breadiness, nutty and sweet aroma. A sweet malty taste is dominant. Not my type of beers.

3.6 Dogma is a beer for thinkers, dreamers and sometime truth-seekers. Brewed with 10 different types of malt and blended together with Scottish heather honey, the flavour, intricacies and nuances of this beer are best enjoyed while musing over obscure 17th century philosophical meanderings, such as ?If we disbelieve everything because we cannot certainly know all things we will do much, what as wisely as he who would not use his wings but sit still and perish because he had no wings to fly?. (John Locke)

3.4 bottled. clear amber with a thin white head; some honey in the nose with earthy spice and a citric touch; some woody notes from the honey, light honeyed sweetness, red pepper, modest bitterness. pretty decent for a honey beer

3.6 330 ml bottle, Calgary, AB, Canada. Honey amber colour, sweet honey aroma. Sweet flavour, spice and long grass finish.

3.3 Original version, bottle big thanks to Fergus for digging this ’R’ out for me, split on the 1758 Waterloo - Windsor train with the Wingman, best before date Spetember 2010! Orange amber with a big old light beige head that retains well. Nose is caramel, dark fruit peel, honey well evident, light spice. Taste comprises light cocoa, floral notes, dollop of honey, hint of mint leaf. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light trace of booze in the close. Ok stuff, has held up well considering the age.

3.1 33 cl Brewdog Bar Camden. Mörk svart färg. Doftar gott och smakar lite bränt, honung och vete och malt.

3.5 Ins Glas ergießt sich ein rötlichbraunes Bier mit schöner Schaumkrone. Geruch leicht röstmalzig, süß, würzig, Kräuter, Karamell. Geschmack röstmalzig süß, Kräuter, Blumen, Karamell, Gewürze, leicht alkoholisch.

4.1 maple booze and caramel aroma...dark brown liquid with beige thin head...tastes spicy up front with that sweet caramel quality at the end..i get the honey but theres a straw candy flavor in there also,along with the maple sweetness I like it..creamy and smooth on the palate..overall I don’t know what you call this it’s not like any brown or scotch ale I’ve had and its balanced toward the malty side but it’s good and warming would make a terrific dessert beer

3.3 Botella de 33 cl tomada en el lúpulo. Junio de 2011. Lote 247 segun etiqueta ""elaborada con semillas de amapola y blenda Nutall kola junto con la miel de brezo escocés"" Cuerpo medio con 7,8 vol que se notan bien. Sabores especiados bastante apreciables. Buena

3.6 Murky mahogany with bit ruby, ultra short head. Caramel malt and hoppiness, bit burnt toffee, alcohol evident. Medium body, bitter with roasting, sweet, long bitter roastrd finish, bit pepper and other spices, herbs also, nuanced strong flavors. Interesting one, especially flavors.

3.9 From the old notes, so this is not a full rating more just a mark to myself that I have tried this one. About the beer: thought it was rather nice with honey, cocoa and spices dominating the flavor.

3.8 Bottle at home . Had no clue there were 2 dogmas , or that i baught a retired beer . Lol Pours dark amber , good white foam Smell is heavy , thick , typical brewdog hops . Sweet . Taste is thin yet full , some caramel notes , some grains , way less hops than thought by the scent ( but still there ) some malts very low carbo-nice ! Aftertaste is malts , in the best way imaginable

2.1 Poured from a bottle. The appearance was great, looked deep amber in the glass. Generous head. Flavour caramel and a very toasted feel. Not much fruityness happening.

3.2 Re-rate 280420. Can from the brewery online shop. Pours clear golden amber with a thin white head. Aromas of heather honey, toffee, strawberry. Taste is more bitter than I recall. But still a dirty honey edge. Old score - 2.7. I remember this well from when Brewdog Edinburgh opened. I’m glad they retired it, as it smelt like bad homebrew, and tasted much the same. New dogma is much better!
