Nov 28, 2007 Sampled during Manhattan Blind IS Tasting: Very nice flavor and aroma, nice and smooth. Not syrupy but easy to drink. I wish I had more of this one to really get the full effect.

Nov 10, 2007 Bottle. Aroma of dark fruit, chocolate and nuts. The palate is actually a little thin. The flavor is nice, mostly bitter chocolate, roasted malt and a crisp finish.

Oct 29, 2007 Shared with my brother who brought this back from a recent trip to Alaska. Pours an oily black with a thick brown head that proves very durable. Dark chocolate and rich roasted coffee aroma with some subtle woody notes. Full body, light carbonation, a little oiliness, and an enjoyable chewiness combine in a great mouthfeel. Nicely balanced between the dark maltiness and a softly bitter dry finish. The oak aging isn’t a major statement, but rather a subtlety that adds to the complexity. Too bad this doesn’t make it down to the lower 48 on a commercial basis. Because of that, it’s flying pretty much under the radar.

Oct 15, 2007 2007 Vintage. Was a really wonderful Imperial Stout my only complaint about that beer was that it smelled very alcoholic. Probably needs to sit for a year or two to smooth that out. Anyway, I really enjoyed the mellow yet bold and full flavored body. Definately a nice brew.
