Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: black in the pour and black in the glass with a one finger's worth of khaki foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and leave some light messy lace
Aroma: milk and dark chocolate scents up front with an ample dose of sweet to earthy coffee qualities rolling in then a subtle maple syrup vibe blends in
Flavor: takes all the prior noted aromas sweet and roasty with a mild touch of bitterness underneath; sly aftertaste of maple syrup and chocolate
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being on the sipper side; very smooth along the tongue; long finish of the maple and chocolate tones
Overall: a very enjoyable dessert beer I would welcome again!

Pours reasonably thick, very dark brown. Just a thin head. The aroma has a lot of chocolate, coffee and a hint of maple. The palate, it's maple and coffee. Fairly thick body. Solid effort, lots of coffee, the sugars help to round it out.
