2018 release (first time canned).
A: Pours black with a half finger of brown, pretty fine head. Pretty lacing and good retention.
S: Loads of maple up front with a moderate backbone of dark roastiness (almost char) and a hint of chocolate, coffee, and cinnamon.
T: Maple syrup for days, reminding me of taking a syrupy bite of french toast. Medium roastiness from mid-palate through the finish. Wisp of chocolate, coffee, and cola. Moderate sweetness pulls things together.
M: Medium body and high carbonation. Mildly creamy with light alcohol burn.
O: Super maple forward, especially when its cold. This is pretty delicious, but there’s so much maple flavor that it’s hard to drink in quantities above 4 oz.

Second-best syrupfest I've had to Treehouse Good Morning. Denser than Pedro Ximenez, but cloys less after the third sip. Not a style I always need in my life but well executed.

Sample at Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen 2018, Yellow Session. Aroma has coffee and roasted malt. Taste has sweetened coffee with cream, more roasty on the finish. Good bitter / sweetness balance.
