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.

Bottle. Pitch black, smaller beige head. Mild biscuity nose, some chocolate, slight wood, later on some maple syrup. Moderate sweetness, chocolate and very sticky. Moderate bitterness, later even more maple syrupy presence. Roasted and a bit herbal. Medium ful body. Nice maple stout.

Draught @ Bootleggers Fbg, Copenhagen. Soft, super sweet and syrupy with some maple notes, coffee, cocoa, vanilla and sugar. Too sweet.

355ml bottle from Boxbeers. 2017 release. Pours pitch black with a small brown head. Aroma of roasty malts, coffee, bourbon, oak, vanilla, hints of maple syrup and toffee. Taste is sweet, slightly syrupy and roasty with loads of bourbon, vanilla, oak, toffee, hints of maple syrup, chocolate and coffee. Finish is smooth, slick and slightly warming with loads of bourbon, oak, wood, coffee, hints of maple syrup, chocolate and vanilla. Not quite as perfectly balanced as KBS, but still pretty good.
