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.

19th February 2022, 5oz pour on a flight in The Brewhouse, San Juan Capistrano. 2018 version. Black body, beige head. What a lovely drink, chocolate, coffee and maple syrup flavours all blending together with a rich bourbon, boozy underbelly.

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.

What more can be added to descriptions and accolades for CBS? Right, not much. It’s great beer. Get some.
