The Great Maple—Maple Double Barrel, is a 12.5% Imperial Stout brewed with Runamok Vermont maple syrup, aged 16 months in a blend of Eagle Rare and E.H. Taylor Small Batch bourbon barrels, and finished in Runamok Vermont maple syrup barrels. Maple Double Barrel has rich aromatics of caramelized maple syrup coupled with marshmallow and chocolate flavors. The blend of these two bourbon barrels lends additional notes of maple, vanilla and cinnamon.

500ml @ SF shared with almost full gang (missing two biggest guys only).
Aroma: American oak, a bit meaty, little boozy.
Taste: along the same lines, moderately sweet, nice barrel notes, nice maple notes.
Overall: nice one.

Dark brown. On the nose, it's got umami dark cacao nibs, light maple. It's relatively light on the palate. The maple is decent, and gets richer towards the finish. Balanced bitterness. Ok, I want more sugar but the malt base actually allows the maple to come through fairly well without being overly sweet.

500mL bottle, pours black with a tiny beige head. Nose is full of deep bourbon barrels, gentle maple syrup, wood, iron, and a touch of molasses. Flavour has rich bourbon, bigger maple syrup than the nose suggested, wood, and molasses. Nice barrel character, with the maple syrup adding nice sugary complexity without being cloying. Very good.

Poured from 500mL bottle (2022 vintage; 12.5% abv; Maple Double Barrel). Very dark brown with almost no off white head. Nice rich woody bourbon with light maple underlay, feint vanilla, not picking up cinnamon. Very nice.

500mL bottle. Pours black with a minimal head. Bourbon, maple syrup, and sweet malts on the nose. Flavour has lots of bourbon, maple syrup, dark sugars, some marshmallow. Mouthfeel is a touch heavy. Very nice, I really like the barrel treatment.
