L: pours black, doesn't look ultra thick, could see some light. A dark brown head that fades fast
S: some bourbon sweetness, more of a molasses than chocolate, and no maple. The smell is good, but it isn't jumping out of the glass
T: there is the maple! A bit of subtle bourbon though. The maple sweetness does help counteract the molasses.
F: medium to thick thickness. Creamy feel but doesn't cost well

Got this one from desp 59 a while back. Cheers for the trade!
From a bomber into a snifter
2016 Edition
Maple Bourbon barrel imperial stout (Maple DOS)
APPEARANCE: Pours out clear black and yields a 2+ finger, medium-thicker looking dark tan head with great retention. Creamier looking and not fizzy at all. Black body with no carbo evident. Head slowly recedes to a full cap and leaves sheets of lacing on the glass. A good wisp remains leaving solid lacing down the glass. Good looking stuff.
SMELL: Medium strength nose of bourbon, oak, vanilla, sweet, creamy milk chocolate, toffee, butterscotch, and faint maple aromas as well. Lots of barrel and candy going on here.
TASTE: More maple in the flavor up front, with notes of toffee, butterscotch and bourbon as well. Some oak and wood at the swallow with a medium but lingering finish of milk chocolate, sweet vanilla cream, oak, toffee and butterscotch, some maple flavors and alcohol. Sweet and boozy, with a nice hint of maple syrup in there as well.
PALATE: Medium-fuller body and medium carbonation. Creamy and enough weight on the palate, goes down with a bit of a scratch and burn, finishing a touch mouth-coating. A bit of heat lingers.
OVERALL: Another excellent Cycle imperial stout. The maple bourbon barrels give it a different character than using pure maple syrup in the brew, as the maple comes off very much in the background and as part of the barrel presence as a whole. Both approaches work in the end, and this is a very nice example of this particular method. It’s also well engineered, with a very nice look and a solid feel to it. Thanks again for this one desp59. These guys do great stout beers and this is another stellar example. Cheers!
