Look - Pours a dark black color with no head. A fairly thick lacing when swirled.
Smell - A fairy nice bourbon scent, with maple and vanilla.
Taste - The maple ard vanilla are much more pronounced in the taste, though I'm generally not a huge of maple in my stouts (with the exception of Equilibrium's "Barrel Aged Maple Dream Dessert"). Also some bourbon.
Feel - Very nicely creamy and very smooth for 15%ABV.
Overall - Not a bad stout, but though I like maple, I usually don't find it too great in my stouts.
