Surprisingly hoppy nose, with a bit of chocolate malt. Nice chocolate and coffee malt taste with a nice bitter hops finish. Great coffee in there. A real nice stout.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 28, 2008 22oz. bomber with no date into a nonic.
Syrupy black with no light penetration through the glass capped with a light brown fluffy head thick head that could hold a quarter up.
Sweet smelling, almost like Bailey’s Irish cream. A refreshing chocolate milk mixed with maple syrup and a heavy dose of alcohol.
The palate is sweet to start, with chocolate and caramel characteristics; then comes the espresso, lots of it. It literally coats your tongue. You finally get the alcohol kick in the back of the throat. Bitterness is present in the form of hops towards the end, as well.
Thick and syrupy, with medium to heavy carbonation. This is not a beer for wusses.
1 bomber is more than enough for a sitting.
Good beer from the Divide. Codythegreat (141), Carrollton, Georgia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 27, 2008 Pours a dark opaque black with a dark brown head. When they said it was an onslaught on the senses they weren’t kidding. It has a very malty taste with a bitter after taste. I drank this out of a shaker. FatTony (121), Augusta, Georgia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 26, 2008 12 ounce bottle- poured out a thick tar black. The head was an incredibly thick caramel brown and lasted until the last mouthful. Aroma was very chocolatey and sweet. First impression was that this was one of the smoothest stouts I had ever tried, texture was pure silk in the mouth. Great toffee flavor with a hint of black coffee, but was in no way sweet. Excellent, really enjoyed it. LokiLovelace (10), Piscataway, New Jersey, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 25, 2008 Great solid beer with rich malt flavor and burnt caramel hints this is a great bang for the buck Imperial Stout! Gethinbeer (1001), Nova Scotia, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 25, 2008 From bottle. Smoked coffee, chocolate aroma. Pours like silk. Syrup in a glass. Thick chocolate cocoa head. Big chocolate stout. Like a beer milkshake. Not so sure on an imperial as the % is hidden very well. Just a great stout. If Willy Wonka owned a brewery his beer may taste like this one. I feel like swimming in this beer. I loved this one. Nephilium (546), Ohio, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 24, 2008 The aroma starts off with a good combination of roasted malts and piney hops. It pours an opaque black with a huge tan head. Nice roasted flavor, with hints of chocolate and coffee, ending with a nice bitter finish. Very heavy and thick mouthfeel. A very tasty imperial stout.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 24, 2008 Pours almost black with a thick, pancake colored head that lingers. Nose is comlex, with chocolate malt, roasted coffee, and interesting pine hops. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. Flavor is a bit spicy, roasted bitter coffee, and semi sweet chocolate. The finish is like an IIPA, with bitter pine hops. Quite a complex brew.
