Reviewed from notes.
Can to snifter.
Appearance: black in the pour and black in the glass with a two finger off white foamy head that took it's time to dissipate then leave some light lace
Aroma: black coffee up front then some rum barrel/woody spice, light vanilla and then the maple sweet tones, subtle cocoa powder down in there
Flavor: seems to do a pretty good job of copying the aromas in a sweet to woody sweet and slightly roasty then underscored by a little barrel/woody spice; finishes with the rum notes, light maple and a little bit of coffee
Texture: medium bodied, good as a sipper; some smoothness but also some woody/barrel spice trying to be semi-assertive against the tongue
Overall: for the most part this was a pretty nicely done barrel aged porter, I think I could have waited longer before I opened this.
