Bottle, St Albans Beer Festival 2005. Nice one Duff!!! Black beer with red/beige head. Aroma blows you away. Tarry, treacle, molasses. Most intense beer you could make of a stout. Rich and thick in mouth with a big hop wallop on the end. Wish I could put over how much flavour there is in this. Happily sit for an entire evening with a couple of bottles of this, just enjoying the aromas. 4.8/5.0 Re-rate Draught at Norrebro, Copenhagen. Minty grapefruit. Yes, I love the hops, yes I love the smoothness Bit of wood on aroma. Bit of whisky malt. Intense and interesting. REally good dark choc and this espresso coffee edge. More choc than coffee. I mean it’s still a really good beer. Lovely hop on finish too.

Almost black with a nice head. Malt and liquorice aroma. Roasty malt & coffe flavor with raisins in the background. The flavour last "forever". A beer for cold winter nights and good books.

Bottle Pours a clear medium dark golden copper color witha large off white head and lots of lacing clinging to the sides. Aroma is a fairly strong woody hoppiness. Flavors are similar but a nice combo of the deep woody malts and the mild hops. A good match. Quite full feel and somewhat soft carbonation. I Liked it.

Bottled. Hazy reddish brown. Raspberry aroma. Sweet with clean hard mouthfeel. Besides the raspberry flavour there is not really much to this beer. It is too sweet bo be drinkable, and has nothing ejnjoyable to offer flavourwise. Why does a respectable brewer like Great Divide bother to bottle this?

Bottle Pours a clear deep very dark redish brown witha very large and dense, lasting light tan head. Aroma is that common dark roasted slightly burnt sharp sourness. Some cocolate notes as well. Flavor is nice, roasted bitter chocolate and a little mocha. Feel is quite thin but nice and slick. Carbonation is moderate and all in all quite good.

Bottle Pours a very attractive hazy ruby color with a fluffy light pink head. Aroma is very nice light malty and moderately raspberry-ish. Rather inviting actually. The flavors are a bit of a let down. The raspbery is there, a bit, but woody and rough. More like saw dust than raspberry. Interesting but somewhat dissapointing
