From a bomber shared at Thai Me Up in Jackson, WY, courtesy of Clark L., founder and owner of Toppling Goliath. The beer pours a clear cola brown with a thin tan head. Aromas are dominated by maple and secondarily coffee and cocoa. The flavors are sweet maple syrup and chocolate. Smooth, complex, and absolutely delicious.

Poured from 2018 bottle at DeMont's birthday tasting. Black with a minimal mocha head. Aroma is maple, chocolate, vanilla, light coffee. Taste is thick, sweet and follows aroma. Glad to have the opportunity to try this.

Bottle shared by Pilsnertest, many thanks! Insane coffee aroma somewhere in between newly grounded coffee beans and the most aromatic fresh brewed cup of black gold imaginable. Velvety smooth chocolate accompanying together with balanced maple and vanilla. Some light very light berry notes in taste and a bit of licorice. Rich and full with a coffee presence that really is the benchmark.

355 ml bottle, batch 4. Pours black with the most beautiful foam I've ever seen, brown and big and fine and smooth, also perfectly matched to the MD glass. Aroma is maple, walnut, vanilla, caramel, coffee. Body is heavy and strong, but pure maple syrup, coffee, caramel, booze. Intense and strong. Next to a Rye BA Vietnamese Speedway, it feels plain. Still outstanding, but I'm enjoying the other one more.

b4 Bottle, many thanks to anstei and dzudohonor. Poured into a Mornin Delight glass, amazing appearance! Black color with huge beige head. Aroma is super walnuts, nutmeg, maple. Taste is maple, walnuts, fresh coffee. Extremely soft mouthfeel with fine-bubbled carbonation. Superbly mapley, and really really great.

Had it at the event and on draft. Friends have said the draft is far superior to the bottle. Haven't tried the bottle - yet. Draft was incredibly rich, yet smooth and relatively balanced.

Pours like motor oil. Very viscous, with dark brown head. Once the bottle opens, Maple fills up the room. Massive cold coffee, vanilla, maple, dark chocolate, vanilla and roasted malt in the nose that is bloody amazing. Low carbonation, thick syrupy mouth, tons of coffee, maple syrup, roasted malt and dark chocolate. Very full bodied. Very rich. A sample is enough. It’s a great beer and alcohol well hidden. It’s fantastic. Worth the price or the high rating, I don’t think so.
