As black cats skitter, ladders loom, and mirrors break, a reminder: You make your own luck. Surly makes your beer. Presenting 13, our maple barrel-aged imperial stout. Notes of dark chocolate, roasted malt, and aromatic vanilla sit atop the rich maple flavors coursing beneath. This decadent ale appears on Friday the 13th for a limited time only. Good luck.

Can thanks to Trevor. Pours a pitch dark hue with a medium brown head. A big sweet maple nose. Roast, sweet maple, coffee, syrup sweetness. The base backs it up. Very good.

Boxed pint can, 12/25/20. Forgot where I got this. Inky dark black, thin fizzy brown head. Poor retention. Aroma of brownie batter, roast, maple, raisin. Taste is roast, anise, maple, brownie batter, vanilla, oak, black licorice (yes, I said anise and licorice). Full bodied. Some booze but fairly mild for the ABV. Nice beer.

Kind of a blend between imperial stout and barley wine to me. The aromas are definitely leaning more towards barley wine with figs, dates, walnuts, dark malt and hints of roast, and toffee. Flavors are lots of barley one qualities but blending with Imperial Stout. Bittersweet up front with raisins figs dates and some black patent coming in next, some roast and maple. Very nice easy-going blend. Great body carbonation and finish. No sign of alcohol. Really nice beer.

Pours a dark, oily blackish-brown, with a relatively small head that dissipates quickly. Aromas include chocolate, maple syrup, some bourbon, licorice. Flavors follow, along with some woodiness, vanilla, and nuts. Very sweet and very smooth. The ABV is fairly well-hidden for such a big beer.

Pours black, no real head. Smell is bit boozy, mild chocolate. bourbon. Taste is full, sweet, coffee, roasty; tad heat by the alcohol. Coffee, milder maple. Relatively intense. Bit too boozy though.
