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.

Bottle at a tasting, many thanks to Cuso. The only thing distracting me from this drinking experience is coffee - there is too much in my opinion, and it has that sharp spent coffee character, not really delicious. Other than that, all is great. Maple marries well with deep chocolatey cocoa roast. Full body, moderate carbonation. Subtle bourbon woody undertones. Only light touch of warming alcohol, tickling my tongue. Great beer.
