Great Divide’s Maverick Imperial Stout is an onslaught of the senses. Brewed with seven different malts, it opens up with big, roasty malt flavor and then gives way to rich caramel and toffee notes. Maverick Imperial Stout gets its bold hop character from an enormous quantity of American hops. It weighs in at 9.5 % alcohol by volume, and a hefty 75 International Bittering Units (IBUs).

"This brew poured black with rocky, thick brown head that thinned a bit, and had some nice lacing. Nice aroma of roasted malt, molasses, caramel, slight hoppiness, chocolate and smoke. Very heavy mouthfeel. The flavor seemed to improve with warming."

"A big beer for sure, like pouring out burnt motor oil, this stuff is black and thick, a thin tan cap with a little carbonation. Aroma of roasted malts, and coffee. Falvors also of roasted malts, coffee, toffee, caramel, oh yeah and coffee. It is sweet at first giving way to hop bitterness. Overall a pretty good brew, worth a try"

[3] Review by changeup45 from Orlando, Florida, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/22/2008 5:33:53 PM)
"Pours a black color topped with a nice thick deep brown head. The head does settle down to small patches on top. Roasted malt aroma with toffee and molasses backed with some hops. Mouthfeel is rich, heavy and very full. Flavor starts with roasted bitter malts with some burned dark chocolate and toffee. It finishes with some bitter hops and a lot of bold black coffee which can be tasted in the aftertaste for a long time. A bit dry and warming. There isn't necessarily an alcoholic rush but the flavors are bold, bitter and complex and it is evident that this beer is high in abv. I loved sampling this beer. It's probably not going to be a regular for me and I doubt I want too many at one seating but this beer was quite a bit of fun. I have a bottle of the Oak Aged version so I look forward to that one.
