Oct 15, 2008 Great brew. Pours jet black with light brown 2 finger head. Nose of Chocolate, Vanilla, caramel, among other sugary goodness. Flavor is of strong vanilla and light chocolate. Lots of roast and baked bread character. Basically has a lot going on and I love it. Cheers to Great Divide and this wonderful brew! :)

Oct 13, 2008 Pours a viscous black with a milk chocolate head that bubbles forever, leaving a ring and good lacing. Smells of an vanilla, oak, and raw cocoa. It fills the mouth with a delightful creaminess hiding the alcohol bite well.
First oak aged stout I’ve had, and I love it coming from belgian strong ales and barley wines. I’ll be picking up more bottles of this.

Oct 12, 2008 Great aroma with hoppiness balanced nicely with a big blast of oak. Taste is also balanced with very complex malt flavor. I get strong flavor of dark fruit such as plum and raisin. The oak seems more assertive than other beers in this style that I’ve tried, but I find this to balance perfectly. This one is a winner.

Oct 12, 2008 It’s clear why this is one of the best... a beer with distinct character of aroma, flavor and balance.... the hops provide an fruity sweet acidic balance to the dark roast of malts... smooth and alcohol is almost non existant. This goes great with cheesecake.

Oct 3, 2008 This has got to be one of my most favorite imperial stouts of all time. Rich thick head, excellent lacing. Aroma of chocolate, toffee, vanilla, wood. Extra creamy smooth taste. The alcohol bite is covered well by the wood chips. One of the best I’ve had. I highly recommend pairing this with vanilla icecream. Oh so good. Better than Old Rasputin and Stone IRS and Ten Fidy.

Oct 3, 2008 Completely black body with a dark brownish, bubbly head. Great glass-lacing. Succulent aromas of cocoa and hops together with a peaty touch behind it all. Well blended taste of chocolate, caramel and roasted malts backed by hops and gentle liquorice acidity. Even bitter coffee notes can be spotted. Smooth and velvet in the mouth. Harmonious and amazingly balanced. Nothing less than a masterpiece (500ml from tap shared with larsga and reakt at Plan B, Copenhagen 15.09.2008, and 250ml on tap - guest brew - at Nørrebro Bryghus, Copenhagen 20.09.2008).

Oct 2, 2008 2005 bomber. Very little pop when I opened the bottle. Poured a jet black with a medium oil consistency. Deep aromas of raisin, fig, molasses, currants, and some wood. Very smooth. No hop bitterness or roast dryness. A lot of chocolate with some vanilla/butterscotch flavors. Aged nicely.
