Dark black body. One finger offwhite head, good retention, no lacing. Smell is chocolate, maple, a bit of espresso, whiskey, bit of roast. Flavour follows, fair bit of maple sweetness on top of the imperial stout base, a bit of bourbon added. Mouthfeel is medium-fuller bodied, good carbonation, smooth with a good silkiness to it. Overall, a very pleasant surprise with a nice big dose of maple to it.

750 ml bottle into a snifter. Had on 5/27/17.
Pours thick looking, very dark and opaque, with a one inch head and some soapy lacing. Aromas of malt, maple- more as it warms, bourbon, some coffee, a little caramel, light vanilla and licorice. Smells great. The taste is malt, bourbon, maple, cocoa, coffee, caramel, oak, light vanilla and molasses. Smooth, somewhat creamy, a solid full body, well carbonated.
An excellent use of maple, with a great balance of flavors throughout. The barrel is subtle, but effective. Definitely well worth a purchase.
