Inspired by a recent visit to Treehouse in the US where we tried their Moments of Clarity stout which is an incredible beer. We've used cocao nibs from Noble & Stace and freshly roasted coffee from Edgcumbes.

Can exploded in the climate-controled fridge. Guess fate decided it was time to open this ? Luckely no further damage (appart from some cleaning work) was done. Pours black, anned off white head. Scent is mostly roast, coffee and cocoa shines trough but maple doesn't. perhaps its refermented with the maple, causing the explosion, removing it's aroma ? Taste is farily sharp, drying sensation - towards acidic but it ain't, it's due to the sharpness of the acidity roasted malts can give, I recon. Coffee and cocoa bitters, no real maple syrup. Decent, not as great as I had hoped. Minus 0.5 for the fact that cans shouldn't explode, most definately not if they are temp controlled surrounding. Isn't even past the best by date, so if this is the best condition your beer is in, it's allowed to have questions - no ?

Can from the brewery online shop. Appearance - Nose - the maple syrup and chocolate competes nicely with the coffee , thank goodness. Taste - brown sugar, maple syrup, chocolate and coffee. Palate - medium bodied, creamy texture. A fairly sweet finish, but the coffee roast cleanses the palate to some extent. Overall - dessert in a can.

Can from Indiebeer, Holloway. Can't complain about the aroma. Maple with malty chocolate and coffee. Dark and glossy. Thick fluffy foamy tan head. Medium-heavy bitter. Underlying sweetness combines with a sour edge - in fact the latter is more obvious. However it's the black chocolate and blacker coffee bitterness that dominates. Medium-heavy bodied. Creamy. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish. Rich but bitter, the sweeter elements provide some relief but do not distract.
