Can purchased from Iron Tug Brewing in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a dark brown-ish/black color, with a very small head, and not much lacing.

This smells like earthy, bittersweet maple, roast, smoke, licorice, and dark chocolate.

This is very intriguing, and could possibly be polarizing. It's got an earthy and smoke bitterness, which I assume is imparted by the mushrooms. There' s a nice roast and dark chocolate character, with some dark fruit, licorice, and caramel as well. The maple character itself is pretty light. A more pronounced maple character could have possibly led to this being more balanced. Even without that sweetness, I still enjoy this.

This is medium bodied, maybe a little bit too thin, but still pretty drinkable, with no real booziness to it.

I really like the idea behind the initiative, and I like how creative this one is.

"Much Love is a collaborative initiative to support mental health research and awareness. Originally brewed to celebrate the life and legacy of Jason Davis, Much Love focuses on building connections between all of us. The goal of this initiative is to bring breweries together under a single mantra and collaborative to support an amazing cause. The beer and cider communities have a miraculous gift of uniting people and that is what Much Love is all about. We ask that these communities come together to support Mental Health research and awareness."
