Brewed with loads of roasted and black malts, and over 2 gallons VT maple syrup per barrel, this beauty was carefully aged for over a year in Sapling Maple Liquor oak barrels from Saxton's River Distillery in Brattleboro, VT. This rich and complex beer will mature for many months. Made for sub-zero nights, and for pairing with decadent desserts.

Sampled at the DC Ratebeer Gathering. 750ml bottle pours an oily, opaque black with some thin, beige head. Nose is boozy, tropical fruit, some sweetness. Flavor is sweet, boozy, melon, tropical fruit. Full bodied, sweet finish. Liked this more than the Bourbon treatment.

Bottle courtesy of craftycarl. Bottle #61, I think (label was slightly torn). Pours a very dark brown color with a thin creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of roasted malts, wood, maple and earthy notes. The taste is peppery wood notes, roasted malts, caramel, maple and an herbal finish. Full bodied. Now this is a damn good beer.

Bottle number 133/180 thanks to womencantsail. Pours with a small tan head that fades over a viscous black body. Aromas are roasty, maple, smokey, vanilla, minerals and alcohol. Flavors of alcohol, nutty, astringent malt, raw grains, maple, roasty and very bitter. A mild acidity to it (infection starting?). Medium bubbles, very hot. Oaky and a bit dry for a big stout.

Nip bottle. Pours black with a brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma is a bit hot with alcohol as well as roasted malts, dark chocolate and a nice maple note that bites the bitterness a bit. Flavor begins with roasted malts and chocolate and is joined by a nice maple note that balanced the beer nicely.
