Poured from bottle dated 5/11/2016 black pour with a lingering mocha head with nice lacing of the snifter. This bottle used the wrong type of cork and was almost impossible to open. We had to saw off the cork and use a wine opener to get it out. Aroma is insane maple, light smoke, roasted malt and chocolate. Taste is maple, chocolate, nice mouth feel, dry finish.

Thanks to johnnnniee for the share of this 750 ml! Aroma is a bold maple, light smoke, and pretty nice amount of chocolate. The flavor is a nice balance of maple, smoke and deep roast. The mouthfeel has a great fullness that I love in the style. Great stout, Thanks Johnnnniee!

Bottle from the brewery. Solid black in color with a frothy tan head that persists. Rich sweet maple sweetness with bits of chocolate and roast countering a solid smokey flavor. Light sweet bourbony barrel notes round this out quite nicely. Very well done.
