Cask at Vault.
Better than its counterpart for sure (the one with vanilla/nutmeg, etc.) Similar appearance, looked like a stout. Good coffee aroma, complimenting dark malts, some candy sweetness. Coffee not overpowering in the taste, which is good IMO, good balance of roast and sweetness, though nothing really distinctively maple here. Barrel notes were well-integrated, and the beer wasn't too boozy. Body was about medium, and a little on the thin side, but still smooth and drinkable overall. It was served too cold, which didn't help the mouthfeel, but it got better as it warmed up a bit.

The barrel adds a very mellow quality to the beer and lets the roastiness of the coffee and sweetness of the maple syrup take center stage. Medium, slightly viscous body. Great flavor
