Cocoa Mapalm is an Imperial Stout with cocoa, maple, and vanilla. This beer reminds us of a perfect Sunday morning with chocolate chip pancakes smothered in maple syrup with a hot cup of coffee. This beer has a thick mouth feel from the flaked oats with flavors of maple, coffee, chocolate, marshmallow, and vanilla.

Can, thanks to Nimbleprop. Pours opaque dark brown with large foamy tan head, cocoa-maple syrup aroma, low carbonation, bitter mocha taste with alcohol undertones, and maple syrup, somewhat thick body, long finish with alcohol aftertaste. Potent.

32oz crowler pours a viscous, opaque black with some foamy, grey head. Nose is big with cocoa powder, molasses, Hershey’s syrup, burnt molasses, some dried fruits, prunes and figs, but mostly just chocolate milk. Not much booze noticeable in the nose. Flavor is quite different, huge with maple sugar and then check chocolate, some cinnamon too, huge lactose dried fruits, molasses. Finishes extremely full bodied, almost a little difficult to drink given the level of residual sugars. This drinks like it’s 18%, not 10%. Reminds me of a Bruery mess in that it’s an interesting concept, but poorly executed. Sorry guys.

8 oz pour on draft at Aslin, served in a tulip/snifter. Black with a finger of tan head. Aromas of maple syrup mostly, caramel, chocolate, light roast. Tastes of big maple syrup, dark chocolate, caramel, raisins and dark fruit, subtle booze. Full body with a dry finish. They really knocked it out of the park with the maple syrup aroma/flavor. Up there with Macarooned for me for favorite Aslin beer.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a dark brown color, maybe dark cola, but mostly black, much like the other dark offerings from them. Aroma was solid chocolate. Flavor was milk chocolate, semi-sweet cocoa, bakers chocolate. Chocolate cake. Fudge with chocolate dusting. Very tasty - alcohol is totally hidden here. Packs a punch.
