Oct 30, 2009 Poured from bottle into a snifter.
Seems to be black (although it may just be an exceedingly dark brown), opaque, cappuccino head that subsides but leaves lacing. Can easily recreate a small head with a quick swirl.
Aroma of chocolate, dark fruit, sweet caramel, some roasted malts, a trace of alcohol.
Sweet chocolate, burnt malts, some coffee, a lot more bitter than the smell indicated (but not as bitter as Storm King).
Warming, thick and chewy. It doesn’t get any smoother.
About as drinkable as a Russian Imperial Stout can be. I could keep sipping this until I die.

Oct 27, 2009 Tap at Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Pitch black coloured, medium sized brown head, burned malt nose with hint of chocolate. Roasted malt, chocolate and coffee with surprisingly bitter hoppy finish. Oily and easy drinkable for 9.5%.

Oct 26, 2009 I am so impressed with this beer. It has it all, a rich feel on the palate, a luxurious smell, a beautiful black appearance and a fantastic coffee and chocolate taste. The aftertaste is amazing. Rumor has it that there is over 9% alcohol, but we have to take their word for it, as there is no evidence to the same.

does not count  Oct 23, 2009 Bottle. Awesome. Wonderful flavors with a great balance of toffee, chocolate and coffee. The color was very opaque black and a nice caramel head.

Oct 9, 2009 Almost compeltely opaque black with bubbly rocky tan head. Sweet chocolate, caramel aroma with dark roast, carbon, ripe fruits. Velvety and oily mouthfeel. Dark bitter chocolate, raisin, and oaky hops taste. Alcohol is peppery in the end, and lasts along with a salty bitterness on the tongue.

Oct 7, 2009 Pure black color. Aroma is mainly of chocolate, coffee, roasted, and malty undertones. Taste is full of chocolate, coffee, and toffee. Has a nice chocolaty aftertaste. Another good one from Great Divide.
