Got this from Emma & Terry this past summer. Cheers!
From a 473ml can into a tulip
Double Stout with Brazil yellow Catuai coffee and maple syrup
APPEARANCE: Pours out clear black and yields a small, looser looking, crackly, light tan head with lousy retention. Head quickly fizzes down to a fain wisp and ring. Black body with no real carbonation evident. A solid ring remains leaving no real lacing as it finishes.
SMELL: Lots of maple syrup on the nose here, for sure. Some roasted malts and coffee aromas, as well as some milk chocolate and vanilla cream there too, but the maple additions are the star of the show here. Bold and enticing.
TASTE: Some maple flavors up front, with hints of coffee and vanilla cream, but quite underwhelming in comparison to the bold and aromatic nose. Tastes somewhat oxidized as well, though it certainly shouldn’t be. Some light maple at the swallow, then a mild but lingering finish of maple, bitter coffee, some roasted notes and milk chocolate linger on the palate.
PALATE: Lighter body and medium carbonation. A bit foamy on the palate, goes down fine and finishes a touch mouth-coating. Some bitterness lingers. Light and not quite creamy enough for the style.
OVERALL: As impressive as the nose was, the flavor was disappointing. Perhaps such a lovely nose leads to unrealistically high expectations, but in any case the flavor just didn’t come through. Perhaps the feel was too foamy and light, but if I had to venture a guess, that’s not it. Being a homebrewer who’s brewed with maple syrup many times, I’ve come to learn that it’s a bitch, generally speaking. Aromatics are par for the course, but it’s harder to get the same effect in the flavor. I’ve learned that adding the syrup after primary fermentation does the trick. Piles of maple flavor. I’m curious how this brew was done. In any case, Third Moon make some great stuff, and the Each Beast a God series is great, but the flavor on this one has room for improvement. Thanks again, guys!
