hirigalzkar (550), Stockholm, Sweden Sep 26, 2009 Bottle. World class IS with a very complex and long lasting taste. Heavy on the roasted malts. Lots of chocolate, coffee and cream balanced with some fresh hops. neepsntatties (281), Portland, Oregon, USA Sep 26, 2009 Had a 12 ouncer of this tonight. Colour... ebony but scarcely any head at all. Nose... tangy, brown sugar, molasses, Caramello. Palate... coating, viscous, hoppy, bitter edges, roasty, very boozy, creamy, cafe au lait, but light on the lait and a long bitterly creamy finish. RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA Sep 23, 2009 Opaque black pour with a thick tan head. Aroma of dark roasted malt, sugar, coffee, chocolate, and a dash of hops. Flavor is very, very rich. A wonderful mix of malty sweetness, roasted dark fruitiness and bitter, piney hop character. So very good. ScottyP (314), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA Sep 21, 2009 Pours a dark black with brown head. Aroma of roasted caramel malts, coffee, dark fruit, some hops. Similar taste, nice bitter expresso, sweet and malty lingering finish. Great stout. soapbox (15), Alabama, USA Sep 20, 2009 One of my favorite beers of all time. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find any of Great Divide’s other beers in my area.
For anyone who has never had this one, it will seem like a joke at first taste. It is absolutely intense and it makes Corona lovers sick. It pours a rich dark black with a dark orange head. This is the beer I compare all others to. A must drink! donfardz64 (406), Wellington, New Zealand Sep 17, 2009 Pours pitch black, dark brown head. American hop aroma on an Imperial Stout? What’s going on?? Grapefruit, pepper all in front of a big thick roast malt dark fruit, coffee aroma.
Big hop flavour, grapefruit subdued by big thick sweet roasted malt. Dark fruit mingle with the hoppy fruits perfectly, creating a harmonious mouth coating flavour making this impy stout dangerously drinkable. cstuartj (305), Washington, USA Sep 13, 2009 Pours thick midnight oily black. Nose is dark and bitter but with a subtle hint of sweetness. Drinks slow and slow light a long lonely winter night. Lots of burnt oat and coffee. Some over ripe plum. Great stout. DWestrick (234), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA Sep 12, 2009 tap - had on tap at the great divide in denver. pretty tough imperial stout - not as smooth as expedition or dark lord but nice to drink
