12oz can at Bottle Rocket. Black pour with fine beige head. Aroma is maple, light chocolate. Taste also favors the maple, but enough chocolatey roast is behind for a beautiful blend of flavors.

L: Dark, dark pour... nearly black with a finger of mocha colored head. Nice lacing. No light get through the pour.
S: Roast and booze. Rich... chocolate and syrup.
T.F: Semi-sweet dark chocolate, roasted grains, and maple syrup. Mild espresso... char and chicory. More cocoa... medium bodied and smooth. Boozy and warming. Lingering maple sweetness at the finish.
O: A big drinkable and flavorful Imperial Stout. Overall quite good.

Glossy mahogany with a dense, creamy tan head of moderate height, slowly settling to a bubbly collar.
Smell is roastier, more savory and chocolatey of nutty cacao with only a hint of maple drizzled coffee bean.
Taste, too, contains plenty of roasty, peanutty malt, quite enough to even recall Hoppin Frog qualities. Only a mild, faint hint of maple blossoms in the finish, bringing with it a touch of banana skin, which I also remember detecting in the coffee version I had years ago.
The fluffy medium body finishes absolutely paper dry.

It's nice to see a big stout that's not barrel aged. This is a pretty easy drinker considering the 10.1% ABV and that's probably because of the light sweetness coming through from the maple. Very tasting but not overpowering. yb
