A lot of coffee which it should have.

Had on tap. Jet black opaque body with a finger of frothy brown foam. Smell predictably hits the coffee bean notes powerfully up front though very fresh, but then sweetens to a latte aroma with the maple, chocolate, vanilla, and instead of the molasses I get in the orignal aroma I get earth and caramel, really pleasant. Taste is obviously more coffee forward than the original, but not enough to lose the nuance of the other flavors, if anything the maple and vanilla is brought out even more, great balance! Body is not as heavy or sticky, rather frothy, thick, chewy and creamy. One of the best coffee breakfast stouts I have had in years.

750mL bottle. Black body with a creamy tan head. Aroma is chocolate, vanilla, coffee, and some roasted barley. Excellent flavor profile with a big accentuation of coffee aling with dark cocoa, vanilla, caramel, maple, and a mild roastiness. Body is thick and full, sweet, sticky, & syrupy. Great beer here! Coffee and maple make it unique - I like that it's not barrel aged giving those flavors a chance to shine.

L - jet black, slight brown head
S - fruity coffee, roasty chocolate, alcohol
T - dark chocolate, coffee, maple, toast
F - thick, oily mouthfeel, bitter chocolate lingers
O - solid balanced coffee stout, prefer this to the standard version. Still an insanely over-rated beer.
