BLIND tasting: Pours murky brown - doesn't seem like a stout. The nose is interesting. Mint, caramel, banana, vanilla, and chocolate chip cookies.
The taste is really interesting. Coffee is immediately there - almost espresso level. Toffee is there as well, in addition to apple, cinnamon, slight black licorice, tobacco, and oak. This is definitely a coffee ale - likely a barleywine. I'll peel the foil back after this!
After reveal: Wow - didn't get the maple on this and was wrong about the coffee. Regardless, great beer!

Brewed with maple sap & syrup.
Very dark chestnut, caramel, auburn etcetera, in appearance. Nearly no head. Very heady, syrupy, dark caramelized malt aroma. Quite thin bodied for the type. Odd that yet again, with these additives and/or adjuncts, there is usually and here again, clashing of the hops with the additives, and or over concentrating the malt aspect of that beer. A bit of some harshness, at the outset, then there is the slight maple characteristic, but mainly a syrupy malt note, with a general, sweet spice aspect. There is a brief moment when it tastes like cola or Dr. Pepper concentrate. The finish has a tiny bit of harshness, with alas, some semblance of maple.
