Utter and absolute blackness, throughly opaque, rich brown head, lasting long. Love this look.
In the nose: Holy Ravioli! Powerful aromatics pouring out of this one. The maple, thick as sap, the coffee, cinnamon and cocoa...whoa.
In the mouth: All those flavors convene on the palate, none jostling or jousting for position, all in a lovely line. Not quite thick or viscous, but round, smooth, cool, calm and collected. Nothing sticks out over others. Maple isn't too much, nor cinnamon. A beautifully balanced beer, with only the large alcohol content threatening to crash this quiet convocation. This one is also never too sweet, despite the opportunity for it, though it gets close. Cinnamon rises up to take a bow, but sticks it out to close the scene.
I was going to begin an embargo on maple beers in my regular diet, much as I've been steadfast in eschewing the use of marshmallow, and then I realized that this one was up next. But, it's not overboard. This broad display of flavors actually works. And I like it. Altogether enjoyable.

Another crowler…my boycott never lasts long despite my past experiences. 750ML of metal encased beer split with my wife.
Black with minimal head as expected in a self-sealed container. The nose is very sweet (maple?) with undertones of roast & saltiness. I like saltiness.
Wild Minds/Weathered Souls Black Is Beautiful is solid. Hit of roast is backed by maple, sea salt, & a pleasant lack of cinnamon. Despite not quite tickling double digits of ABV, it’s full & satisfying. Half a bomber will do me well.
No fancy footwork here, just a solid stout layered with a few candies. Good beer.
