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! :)

OMG - all I can say is that this is delicious! Not much more to add here then whats already said but the sweetness makes me wanting to try Imore Imperial Stouts!

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.

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.

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.
