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.

Draught @ Fox & Hounds, Sønderborg, on Øllets Dag 2020. Pours cloudy very dark brown with stable dark tan head. Clear aroma of coffee, yeast, chocolate and malt, with touches of dried fruit. Bitter, roasty and coffeelike flavour with notes of barrel, lactose and chocolate, and touches of yeast, malt and hints of hops. Bitter aftertaste of alcohol and roast, with malty notes. Delicious, if heady.

Costaud...très costaud, ce Canadian Breakfast Stout, qui intègre chocolat, café, sirop d'érable dans sa recette et qui est vieilli en fût de bourbon. Les bières présentant de fortes intensités aromatiques et une forte présence en bouche demandent un équilibre sans faille pour être réussies. Et c'est ici le cas avec un alcool chaleureux et puissant, tout en restant souple, avec un sucre bien présent sans l'être de trop, et des arômes de café, chocolat, sirop d'érable bourbon avec de légères épices de toute beauté. Très belle maîtrise. En verre nous sommes sur un noir total avec une fine mousse brune. Le nez est sur le café et le bourbon en dominante avec en complément chocolat, sirop d'érable et de légères épices. A la dégustation, ça envoie dès L'attaque, avec un alcool chaleureux et punchy sans être trop chargé pour un ensemble qui reste raffiné. Superbe seconde bouche à la fois soyeuse et racée. L’arrière-bouche, où le duo café et bourbon est dominant, est punchy avec beaucoup de tempérament. Le final, long et sobre finit la dégustation de façon très élégante. On sent de l'expérience derrière cet Imperial stout de très bonne facture.

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.
