2022 vintage; consumed on 1/18/2024
Pours a murky chestnut-brown body sporting slight reddish hues and topped with a finger of hazelnut-tinged foam; decent head retention leaves nearly no cap, a slight, frothy collar, and no lacing whatsoever holding to the walls of the glass.
Aroma wafts fig and prune heavily upfront, with caramel soon building to fragrant maple subtleties; bourbon soak precedes a charry underscore developing over time as dark cocoa and brown sugar linger.
Taste offers maple hard candy and toffee fudge accents dominant at the front of the profile, with dark cocoa meeting red fruit over the mid-palate before peaking to a fig jam back end and maple/milk chocolate exhale.
Mouthfeel brings a medium-light body and a rounded fluff of airy, moderate-high carbonation; silky textures reach a creamy peak, leaving a pseudo-stickiness past the mid-palate and distant warmth through the swallow.
Discernible maple inflections coast through an old ale base, countering syrupy dark fruits with an adjacent sweetness and amplifying the overall presentation with sticky subtleties.
