Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a dark brown foamy head with some retention and some lacing notes. Aroma of chocolate notes with some strong woody bourbon notes and light vanilla. Taste is also a mix of chocolate notes with some vanilla notes with some strong bourbon and vanilla notes and a sweet finale. Body is pretty full with an oily texture and good carbonation with some discernible alcohol notes. Nice woody bourbon stout with good chocolate flavors with sweet finish.

From a 500ml bottle into a snifter
Imperial stout brewed with maple syrup aged in rye whisky barrels
APPEARANCE: Clear black pour yields a one finger, fizzy, somewhat loser, tan head with okay retention. Noisy head quickly fizzes down to a faint wisp and ring. Clear black body with no visible carbonation evident. Only a ring remains leaving no lacing on the glass. Same as the double barrel variant.
SMELL: Lots of potent whisky barrel on this one, oak, vanilla and milk chocolate aromas, some hints of maple and a decent layer of butterscotch and minty candy cane as well. Bolder and boozy.
TASTE: Whisky and oak up front, with some decent butterscotch, candy cane and maple sweetness as well, moving into a boozy and barrel heavy swallow. A bold finish of whisky, oak, vanilla, milk chocolate, butterscotch sweetness, minty maple character and alcohol linger on the palate. Bold and plenty forthcoming.
PALATE: Medium body and medium carbonation. Not quite creamy enough, a little foamy, goes down fine with bit of a burn and finishes somewhat sticky. Lots of heat lingers.
OVERALL: This is a big one. It’s bigger than the ABV might suggest and the maple syrup quality isn’t quite what I’d hoped it would be. What’s left of the maple comes across as a minty candy cane character when combined with the rather boozy whisky barrel. In any case, while this one had plenty going on, it wasn’t quite what I was hoping for. Thanks again, guys!
