Aroma is chocolate, coffee, sweet malt. Appearance is almost black brown, small tan head. Taste is malty chocolate forward. Coffee follows as does caramel. Smooth roast sets in at the end and lingers with malt sweetness. Palate is medium+. Overall a nice beer. Smooth rich and drinkable. Right on to style, but nothing unique. Could use a bit more malt complexity IMO.

Alaskan does dark beer well. This stout is dry, chocolately, with a bit of caramelly sweetness. Tried first in Juneau (3/23/2011) on tap at the waterfront.

My first beer from Alaska, purchased at Total Wine on my trip to Vegas. Pours a real dark brown (almost black) with little red highlights. Nice big mocha cap with decent retention and full patchy lacing. Mild roasted malts with notes of molasses and coffee. Smooth and slightly oily mouthfeel. Roasted malt taste that is not too bitter, but sweetened by the oatmeal and has a quick finish. Not much lingers. Not a bad oatmeal stout, but I have had better, creamier, tastier ones.

[Tap] Pint at Wildfower Cafe in Talkeetna, AK. Pours a very dark shade of brown with no meaningful head. Sticky and sweet brown sugar, roasted malts and coffee in the nose. Charred toast, dark chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut and espresso in the taste. Quite dry for an oatmeal stout. Average palate and mouthfeel. Lingering cold coffee finish. Pretty solid.

355mL bottle poured deep black into glass with big beige head with lots of lacing and nice retention. Aroma of chocolate and coffee. Taste is roasted malty sweetness, chocolate and a hint of coffee with a bit of hop bitterness to finish things off. This is a very well balanced stout with a smoothness that will allow beginners to enjoy stouts.
