Off the rack maple bourbon was aged for 25 months in Canadian maple syrup barrels that were previously used for bourbon ageing. The rich, velvety texture and bold, complex flavors of our imperial stout are enhanced by the sweetness and woody depth of the barrels, resulting in a luxurious beer. Each sip reveals layers of coffee, toffee, and dark fruit, all balanced by clear maple notes and a smooth warming finish.

Graciously gifted to me by my friend who lives in Norway. 375ml waxed bottle, which is a pain in the ass to open up. 14.7 % ABV.
Pours out to a very deep brown, not black, forming a modest wispy light tan head with minimal retention and no lacing. Carbonation is minimal, nearly still. 1 carb at best. Nose of intense prune juice, soy sauce and raisins. I don't get toffee or coffee or maple as the bottle states. Mouthfeel is very syrupy and thick bodied. The taste is prune juice, soy sauce and black cherry syrup. No other descriptors add anything to that. No coffee, no toffee, not getting any maple. Bitterness is very mild, overall very sweet. No off flavors, thankfully no oxidation here. Warming and packing a punch.
This is truly a dessert beer, akin to a port. It reminds me of Sam Adams triple bock back in the day, with those intense prune juice thing. It's very sweet and strong, so best shared, perhaps after a meal. Many thanks to Erlend for gifting me this treat.

A red waxed 375ml bottle, with a best before date of 13th January 2028. Poured into a snifter glass.
Appearance: Black in colour with a thin beige head that dissipated fairly quickly to a ring around the glass, while leaving some spotty lacing.
Aroma: Sweet, chocolate, coffee, dark fruit, fig, brown sugar, toffee, maple syrup, with notes of vanilla.
Taste: Similar to the aroma, sweet, chocolate, coffee, brown sugar, toffee, fig, maple syrup.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, smooth, medium to full bodied, with soft carbonation.
Overall: An enjoyable sipper, with good aroma and flavours, but perhaps on the verge of being too sweet for my palate.
