Draught, York River Landing, 11/24/23. Seems lightly clear. Dark. Dark beige head to ring. Good bourbon, cherry-like. Fairly malty, seems a bit sweet either fruity cherry, raisin, maple. Not boozey, but not super assertive in any department. Big cherry, big chocolate, heavy vanilla, light coconut and some minor toastiness on end. Touch of syrup, moderately sweet and not boozey. Surprised no adjunct. Tastes very vanilla-almond-cherry. Interesting. Pretty nice texture. Maybe a touch of alcohol.

Pours a nice near black, essentially a stout, from a bottle. Nice malty aroma, bourbon, vanilla oak, not much maple to speak of. Similar flavor, surprisingly dry. Pretty good beer.

Can shared by a friend Barrel aged in maple syrup barrels it is a deep cola black with a wisp of a beige head. Big chocolate some boozy heat and maple in the aroma. Full bodied with a Smokey maple and semi-acrid black patent malt finish. Good stuff. 3.8

Draught at the brewery, 12/22/17.
Dark ebony-mahogany, good clarity with a large, tan head showing moderate retention.
Coffee character is quite fragrant and well-done, nicely integrated with the base malt which mixes in to give a prominent caramel character. Molasses-like notes abound, stemming from the roast and maple interplay, as well. Not boozy for its size and no big fudge/syrupy sugar notes.
Dark roast coffee, sticky toffee, light raisin and more molasses in the mouth with light-to-moderate acidity emerging towards the end with more help from light prune and cigar notes. Earth, ash and strong roast linger though it's nicely balanced by the maltiness. On the sweeter side, but still shows good attenuation. Soft, slick-to-malty texture with light but engaging carbonation and lots of roast-like acidity lingering. No flaw and well-concealed on the abv.

Can. Says blended barrel. Not sure if this should be a new rate - pours dark brown tan head - nose and taste of maple, chocolate and sweet malt - medium body

Draft at Bissell. Appearance is a brownish-black color with fast diminishing head. Aroma is mild roasted malt and chocolate in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of chocolate syrup, mild roasted backbone. The finish is roasty with mellow amounts of maple. Alcohol is mildly noticed. Decent overall.
