Maple Syrup Bourbon Barrel-Aged Coffee Chocolate Stout

CBS was born when we stumbled upon some bourbon barrels that had previously housed maple syrup. We opted to put the same base beer as KBS, an imperialized version of Breakfast Stout, in the maple barrels and, after one taste, we knew we had something special. Rich maple syrup, roasted coffee and velvety chocolate meld together in what can only be described as a transcendental drinking experience.

Het blijft gewoon fantastisch spul dit, maple, bourbon, chocolade, koffie, alles wat een ba stout zou moeten bevatten

Much more balanced than the 2017. Heavy IS with hints of bourbon and maple.

USA/ Canada, some NHL, and CBS. The Bourbon and maple are there, unlike the aged version, as it should. Top.

Bottle from Kroger. Pours a pitch black with a finger of brown foam that lingers, then settles. Big roasted cofee forward nose with cacao nib and bourbon with maple syrup as it warms. Some vanilla and more maple syrup on the palate but the coffee notes and cacao nib stand out in this year's batch so far. Smooth and easy to drink, but not overly cloying. Balanced with good roasty notes throughout. Booze hidden fairly well. Maple and coffee stand out as it warms.
