| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | May 17, 2009 Bottle as shown. Pours a very dark brown with a small frothy tan head that dimishes rather quickly. The aroma is a roasted malt with chocolate caramel and cherry. Decent spotty lacing along the glass. Thin mouthfeel with a rich roasted malt with oak and smoke flavors. Decently hides the alcohol with a nice bitter finish. A very good imperial stout from great divide. deyholla (520), Bloomington, Indiana, USA

A very big and delicious beer.

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Apr 30, 2009 Ahhh just as I remembered it. Steal the glass night 4/28/09 at capital ale house innsbrook. Nice full bodied deceptively drinkable stout. Strong chocolate and coffee with some toffee on the nose. Also getting a pronounced yet even smell of roasted malts. On the palate you get sweet chocolate, malts, very smooth coffee, ever so slight caramel and toffee on the finish as well. Does what a great imperial stout should. One of my definite favorites. Word of warning though as it warms up it gets even more drinkable with sweetness starting to come out even more.
