(half pour at the brewery 22 Mar 2026)

nice lil strong stout... looked and tasted well enough quality... a good bit roast forward, but balanced with a rich maltiness... did not taste any discernible maple, very much unlike the Maple Tripple I had later in the session... medium-full richness in its body... enjoyable but did not live up to expectations and not worth any special effort to seek out (2540)

Reviewing from memory, have had this brew a few times. My twenty fourth brew reviewed from these guys. This beer is good, not too boozy, despite the high ABV.

Pours a black no light getting thru , nice 2 finger darker tan head falls to ring and laces well.

Aroma is smooth roasted notes, chocolate mingled with Vermont maple, some light coffee hints underneath.

Taste follows its smooth roasted notes, loads of chocolate with good maple notes. Smooth roasted goodness, great dessert stout. Has light char and coffee hints mingled into the smoothness.

Mouthfeel is big medium, smooth mellow carbonation.

Overall a nice little stout.

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.
