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

Aroma of roasted caramel malts, coffee, dark fruit, some hops. Similar taste, nice bitter expresso, sweet and malty lingering finish. Great stout. soapbox (16), Alabama, USA
| 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | 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 (407), Wellington, New Zealand
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | 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
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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 (237), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Sep 12, 2009 A deep dark pour belies the thickness of this beer, producing a towering brown head leaving extensive lacing on the lip. Smells of chocolate, toffee, malt, and coffee. The beer has very light carbonation, making way for the bold, sharp dark roasted maltiness. In the mouth, it produces a thick, almost cloying feel that leaves inexperienced big beer tipplers mewling for something lighter. This beer does not permit weaklings or light to pass, the beer equivalent of a 800lb gorilla. meesta182 (2), Mountain View / San Luis Obispo, USA does not count | 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Sep 12, 2009 Pours black with a tan head. Very strong chocolate aroma with hints of coffee and roasted malts. Very smooth with a roasted coffee flavor and a nice lingering hops finish.
