| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 26, 2009 Smells of hot cocoa, light vanilla, raw sugar and bitter roasted hops; almost asparagus like. Flavor is bitter on top then burnt sugar and deep roast coffee and more bitterness to finish. Mouthfeel is rich and even, comforting from beginning to end. Nice brew which to me taste a little overly roasty, but very nice overall. Thanks Great Divide. 2009 22 oz. GRM (1250), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 12, 2009 Pours a midnight black with a nice brown head that laces perfectly. It is a little intimidating at first when you take a long sniff inside the snifter. I wasn’t sure if this didnt have TOO much flavor. The first sip put me at ease. Unbelievable character and body, smoky oak, then deep dark chocolate, then bitter, very bitter finish. One of the best imperial stouts ive had the pleasure to sample. caresville (106), Vernon, New Jersey, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 8, 2009 at first glance this is perhaps an overrated imperial stout. smells pretty good, coffee, chocolate, very oaky. pours wonderfully, jet black with a brown little head. tastes amazing to say the least... complex does not begin to explain this. the most prominent taste is oak by far but as you swallow it turns into a dark chocolatey, almost raspberry type taste. black coffee at 7am with a shot of aged kentucky bourbon. the finish is roasty and dark, yet really hoppy and bitter. this stuff is truly great in every way.
