BBIS Drowning In Syrup Is an imperial stout featuring oats and British specialty grains aged In a blend of maple barrels with maple syrup added. These barrels, which previously held bourbon, bring additional nuance to an already complex beer. Oak, cinnamon, and bourbon all stand out in the nose and hint at the bold flavors of sweet maple, chocolate caramel, and slightly smoky whiskey that are carried on a silky smooth body all the way through a lasting finish.

Poured from a bottle at fridge temp. Pours thick and jet black. About an inch of off-white head. The nose is fantastic. The maple is there immediately, but it's not a fake candy maple that sometimes shows up in stouts. These is a thick and fresh smelling maple. Chocolate, gooey toffee, roasted malts, cinnamon, and vanilla.
The taste is fantastic. The maple is front and center, adding a nice sweetness. Toffee, chocolate, dark fruit, maybe a touch of cinnamon, vanilla, and molasses. I can't get over how the maple on this just comes across differently than other maple stouts. Lots of depth.
Mouthfeel is thick and creamy. The aftertaste is sweet maple. The alcohol is high, but it's almost impossible to tell. Excellent beer.
