3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Had this on tap this past weekend at the Great Alaskan Beer and Barley Wine Festival in Anchorage, AK. Colour... black with no head at all. Nose... roasty malt and chocolate. Palate... frothy, dark chocolate, roasted malt, toffee and cafe au lait on the finish. Not esp. complex but quite a nice quaffer for an imperial stout!

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Hearty and strong, but smoothe and drinkable. After a few, you’ll be calling it Back Flang. Huge mouthfeel, tasty woody notes. Everything from this brewery is awesome - it may be reason enough alone to make a trip to Haines.

Filled a growler on my way back to the lower 48 (as a carry-on). Wonderful mouthfeel and nose. Excellent dark chocolate flavor was not overpowering. My favorite bewery in Alaska.
