Jun 7, 2009 Aroma - Chocolate, sweet vanilla, oak. Appearance - Black with tan head that dissipates quickly leaving a thin layer. Flavor - Chocolate malt, vanilla, some coffee, and i do also notice the plum/raisin on the finish. Palate - full body, creamy, soft carbonation. Overall impression - This beer is good but very light for an imperial stout. It has a good flavor but I’m not personally too fond of the fruit finish.

Jun 7, 2009 pour is jet black wih a thin tan head. Aromas of vanilla, oak tannins, cocoa, chocolate. Decent sipper, yet the flavor profile is a bit thin. I still like what they are doing with this beer. It just could be improved with a richer body. The oak aging aspect is very well done. So I’m kind of torn on this beer. Very good in some aspects, yet lacking in others.

Jun 5, 2009 Pours black with no head. Aroma is chocolate and vanilla. Taste is buttery and smooth - chocolate, vanilla, oak, light coffee. No trace of alcohol. Fruity after taste of plums. Full-bodied beer with good mouth feel and low carbonation. Beers aged in whiskey barrels usually don’ t appeal to me, but this one is an exception. Very drinkable and enjoyable.

Jun 5, 2009 Brewed in the USA..... Pours a very dark brown almost black in color with a super fine beige head. Aroma of oak, vanilla, chocolate and malts. Taste has a nice molasses feel with chocolate, coffee beans and a hint of smoke. The mouthfeel is robust and smooth with a slight bourbon finish. This is a bit on the mild side for an imperial stout but you could drink this all night long.
