Maple Liqueur Barrel Aged Morning Star Breakfast Stout
Four Quarters Brewing Co.

 

The appearance was a jet black color with no head or lace.
The aroma had a beautiful blend of sweet milk and dark chocolate, light coffee beans (slightly roasted), some smooth sweet maple, touch of vanilla, sweet wood and just a hint of cinnamon.
The flavor leaned into the sweetness of the blend triggering the cinnamon spice to ride stealthily in to pull down any cloying possibilities. Aftertaste was mainly just the chocolate and maple.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a great sipping quality. Carbonation felt a tad low but wasn't bad as the cinnamon seemed to displace some of the stickiness.
Overall, though having this on a hot day in Vermont, it was probably my favorite of the three I had today. Not sure why they had this at this time of the year, as I would love to have more of this, perhaps this coming Winter.

pours out dark with a dense mocha head. aromas and flavors of milk chocolate, roasty coffee, maple candies, brown sugar, creamy marshmallow, vanilla, maple syrup, spice, a touch of booze which helps keep the sweetness in check, very subtle woody note. mouthfeel is medium-full and very creamy. overall an absolutely delicious offering!
