Aug 31, 2007 Bottle. Big thanks to cbkschubert for sending me this one. Medium dark pour with thin head. Aroma is of molasses, wood, chocolate. Flavor is of oak, chocolate, lightly hoppy. Crwamy mouthfeel, slightly dry. Very smooth with the 10% alcohol not being detected. Good Imperial Stout. This hit the spot.

Aug 19, 2007 Corked and caged bottle. Medium size tan head that was mostly lasting, fair amount of lacing, opaque, and a dark brown hue. Nose was dark malts, oak,hoppy, licorice, chocolate, roasty and burnt. Flavor was licorice, dark malts, oak, chocolate, burnt, roasty, and vinuous. Finishes dry. Tingly, dry mouthfeel. Medium-full body. Very nicely done, very tasty and definitely worthy of a try IMO.

Aug 17, 2007 first beer of the EXCURSION :
Pours a dark brown colour .-.
the head is elite, the lacing even more so! .-.
smell is lacking for 1.an imperial stout and 2. an oak aged brew .-.
Mouthfeel is light light and non overpowering ( or thin, depending on who you are) but I would basically call it smooth .-.
Taste ... first thing that really hits you is the (as fore mentioned) lightness to this brew-- fore one, the alcohol is amazingly hidden (one of the most in any brew i have ever come by) The oak flavour is also very subtle, good for some, but not really for me.
Overall, A very nice beer that is quite people friendly but for the price ($12) i can get a sixer of storm king and have some left over... .-.

Aug 16, 2007 The 750ML Bottle poured a clear garnet (almost black with ruby highlights around the edges) colored beverage with a modest sized creamy tan head that lasted nicely throughout and left great lacing on the glass. The aroma was complex and rich with wonderful notes of caramel, vanilla, oak and dark dried sweet fruits. There was also just a hint of charred wet wood at the edge of perception. The body was full with soft carbonation and a soft creamy texture that clung to the tongue and palate. The flavor starts out lightly sweet echoing the components of the aroma. The finish is long and takes on a light alcohol warmth and bitterness toward the end.

Aug 7, 2007 2007 corked bottle. Pours a shifty black/brown with potent but smallish head. Coffee, toffee, caramel, chocolate, vanilla, rubber/ tobacco aromas invade the olfactory system. The taste yields similar flavors, while focusing on coffee,chocolate aspects. The barrel aging makes itself apparent on the sour/oaky smoked tastes in early to mid palate, and in the lengthy, warming and drying finish which produces a distant smokiness. There is a faint peaty, earthy character similar to a single malt scotch, but certainly not as powerful. Alcohol is well hidden, but observable on both taste and aroma. Nice brew
