375ml bottle poured into a snifter.
Appearance is super dark with a fluffy khaki head. Looks good…real good.
Smell is over-the-top roast and barrel; maybe some bitter chocolate; and lots of booze. Astringent and bitter. Tart cherries.
Taste is burnt, roasted oak offset slightly by dark fruit; there is some malt to this one, but no real maple flavor. Baker's chocolate with tart fruit.
Mouthfeel was pretty good: much thicker and more substantial than a typical porter.
Overall = meh. Would've liked to taste more maple. Was hoping for something like Panther Cub that's been aged in bourbon barrels, but that's a problem flowing from my expectations rather than this beer.
