Sure.. the scientists have published essays, the philosophers poems, the naysayers flyers.. but here at the center of the Maui Brewing micro-verse, we are publishing the ultimate in doomsday aloha – this year's last canned seasonal, Aloha B'ak'tun! The word aloha conveys both greeting and goodbye in the Hawaiian language and B'ak'tun refers to the 3000+year cycle of the Mayan Calendar which is ending. This apocalyptic Belgian-style stout is brewed with Hawaiian chocolate, locally-grown chipotle chilies and cinnamon spice.

Can shared by Mick. Deep black with a great looking rusty tan head. Rich spicy bready chocolate aroma. Medium bodied with a spritzy carbonation. The taste is chocolate, mild citrus zest and spice paste. A fun beer.

Can from Darby’s Liquor Store, Vancouver
Black color with brown compact head. Aroma of dark chocolate and cocoa nibs, then roasted malt, and some vanilla. The mouthfeel is dry and thinner than one would expect; the roasted malt and dark chocolate flavor is decent, with a very light chili/spicy touch, but also some disapproved salty liquorice in the end.
Nothing exciting.
