Appearance: poured a highly viscous thick black color with very little head. My wife questioned if I was pouring motor oil.
Smell: picking up tons of adjuncts including maple, chocolate, vanilla, and coffee. Each one is not that characteristic or unique but when its all together, its kinda like a chocolate candy bar. Traces of bourbon with notes of sweet caramel comes to you near the finish.
Taste: insanely sweet with all the adjuncts. What is really most prominent is the chocolate and the vanilla. The coffee comes in form of highly sweet mocha with chocolate swirls. The maple amps up the sweetness, giving a little note of caramel. Almost no alcohol presence. The sweetness kind of hovers over the bourbon, but it is just noticeable at the finish.
Mouthfeel: super thick and heavy. Very sticky.
Overall: I like it a lot. I would like it more if I had a friend to split this with. It's a lovely beer but easier to share due to its syrupy, cloying, sweetness.

Black in color with a fingernail of dark brown around the rim. The aroma is of maple syrup, bourbon, and coffee. I’m tasting maple syrup, bourbon, and coffee. The mouth is thick, chewy, and sticky.

Pours deep, deep black. Aroma is sominated by roastiness, coffee & bourbon. Taste is incredible. A well balanced combination of maple, bourbon & coffee flavors. Mouthfeel is full & oily.
