Jan 14, 2008 ON TAP: black pour with beige head, glass lacing, aroma has obvious roasted malt flavors. Smooth medium-full body, short finish with hints of chocolate aftertaste and medium alcohol (nice, considering the strong ABV).

Jan 13, 2008 Bottle. This is one of those beers that you take for granted b/c it’s available most everywhere and so you never think to buy it. Had it multiple times, but this is the first time I’ve rated it. A very nice, smooth, imp stout w/ dark chocolate and creamy undertones. Very good.

Jan 13, 2008 Pours an opaque black beer with a huge chocolate coloured head. Nose of chocolate, and roasted notes. Dark bitter chocolate, black coffee dominate, with notes of caramel. Mild mouthfeel. Alcohol is almost not noticeable.

Jan 13, 2008 This is really a remarkable beer here. Poors a deep dark brown that has a hint of red when held up to the light. With an amazing chocolate colored head that leaves a ton of lacing. The aroma is full of chocolate and expresso notes but when you smell and take that first sip its the chocolate that hits you first. There is a light hop bite at the end tempered by an amazing chocolate espresso finishes that lastes a long while. Definitely one of my favorite beers and a must try for stout lovers.

Jan 12, 2008 Whoa. After getting up off the floor after my first taste of this stout, I have to say it is a truly intense experience. Very heavy, hoppy, chewy, smokey...and nuclear! I knew something was going to be different when noticing that a regular 12 oz bottle seemed to be actually "heavier" than a regular bottle of beer. Very dense yet inky body. Holding it up to the light just made it darker! Very good beer, but a bit too much for my enjoyment zone. Congratulations on another perfect brew Great Divide!

Jan 11, 2008 22 oz. bottle in a pint glass. Based on previous raters comments I expected the second coming, however this wasn’t it. That said, it poured dark as motor oil, head and all and was a very flavorful well crafted stout.

Jan 11, 2008 22 ounce bottle in pint glass. Black with dense puffy dark brown head and lace. Roasted coffee and dark chocolate aroma with some cookie dough and earthiness. Extremely rich thick dark chocolate with roasted coffee, very mild underlying fruitiness, lingering bittersweet dark chocolate finish. No alcohol taste or smell. Full body, medium–low carbo. This is what I expect from an American imperial stout. Friggin’ awesome. RICH!
