22 oz. bottle, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks a lot, Dany), pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruits and caramel - not really getting any of the maple. Flavour brings out heavy roasted malt upfront, some dry wood, and a hint of the maple sweetness. Heavily roasted with a dry body. Almost no hint of maple at all, surprisingly. Low drinkability but pleasant flavours . Good stuff.

Big thanks for dak for opening this series of Imperial Stouts at the Annual Black Friday tasting. It pours inky darkness with a minimal tan colored head of foam. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts, burnt toffee sweetness and dark roasted coffee notes. The taste is rich and kind of thin with dark roasted malts, some mild roasted malt astringency and heading into dark roasted coffee. Nice brew with firm strong notes but is seems to lack the richness that defines the higher rated brews of this particular style.

I’ve had this many times locally on Tap and various bottles of vintages. This is the 2012 fresh batch. 750ml, paid $15 at the farmers market. Thanks Sean. Enjoyed at 60 degrees F. 2 finger head that fades fast. Pitch black. Smells of maple sap and honey. Brown sugars and chocolate malts. Hint of smokiness. Taste is sweet up front. Makes my tongue tingle. Middle is a malt bomb and the finish is bakers chocolate and maple. Heavy body.

Shared by mixylplik3, thanks for the opportunity Matt! Pours an inky black color with a smallish tan head that dissipates rather quickly. Smells of caramel, chocolate, brown sugar, maple, and a hint of earthy hops. The flavor follows the aroma and is incredibly smooth. Sweet maple and brown sugar play nicely with chocolate coffee and roast against a hint of earth and a touch of alcohol. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet sugary mouthfeel. This is a great beer, nicely balanced, smooth and quite tasty.

Bit of sugar, coffee cream and them maple creeps up in the finish and aftertaste. Subtle yet becomes gradually more present

Bottle shared by Jcwattsrugger. Pours black with mud coffee brown head. Nose/taste of maple, roasted chocolate malt, vanilla and coffee. Good roast character in the taste. Mouth feel starts creamy with a dry cocoa finish. More maple in the nose than taste, but it’s definitely there. Alcohol is completely hidden. Medium body.
