4.5/5
AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
22 ounce bottle into snifter. Pours almost black as night with a very dense 2 finger dark tan head with amazing retention and very nice lacing on the glass. Aromas of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, caramel, and licorice. Taste is INSANE with the balance of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, caramel, and toffee. Very sweet tasting on the front with a very smooth chocolate/coffee bitterness on the finish with lingering roasted chocolate and coffee notes. Full creamy body and medium carbonation. A phenomenal Imperial Stout, and this makes me extremely interested in some more offerings from Great Divide.
A widely available beer, and so amazing. Well done Great Divide, well done. I must find the oak aged version, plus the other versions that are available.
