4/5  rDev +9.9%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: Very dark with a bit of ruby outlining the beer. No head and just a slight bit of lace around the rim.

Smell: Has a sweetness to it, along with a dough smell.

Taste & Mouthfeel: Not heavy feeling like some stouts can be. This one is on the light side and has a real sweetness that is unusual for this style. Tends to have a fruity-perfume taste that is not too overwhelming, but rather, lurking underneath the surface. Also, I'm getting a bit of spruce or pine taste creeping up. Did I mention that this one has a sweet bite to it? Because it does....the end sip is where it really comes out. Nice.

Drinkability: While this stout is not your dad's stout, it is however a good take on the style. Brewdog is all about pushing the envelope and Rip Tide is a perfect example and another honorable mention in their collection. Nice work. Will find this one again.

Interesting appearance, dark brown, dark red colors to the edge. Not a lot of carbonation to form a head with, whispy and thin tan colored. Has a nutty and chocolate malt aroma.

Taste goes equal parts roasted black malts, but also brown malt and a nuttiness you see from other styles than an imperial stout. It is very smooth, not aggressively hopped kind of stout.

Its not a bad beer, those who want more ooomph in their Guinness kind of stouts might be into this.

Great flavor and nicely balanced for a less boozy 8% Imperial Stout.
