Pitch black pour with a thin dark tan head. Tons of bourbon, followed by notes of vanilla, maple syrup, wood, more bourbon. A bit rough around the edges, and the ABV a bit too obvious, but otherwise a very nice BBA stout.

Bottle thanks to Anthony. Pours a dark brown with small tan head. The aroma is intense maple, cocoa, roast, bourbon. Slick body, maple syrup, vanilla, cocoa, roast, oak, boozy finish, very nice.

Poured from a 500 ml bottle. Aroma is malt forward with a lot of chocolate and some lighter roast notes. Light caramel and toffee notes with hints of molasses. Medium light bourbon and maple notes with even lighter oak.morr maple as it warms but a bit more alcohol spice as well. Pours jet black with a medium large, thick, frothy, dark brown-cola head that recedes to a small, thick film that lingers. No lacing and moderate length legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with a lot of chocolate, caramel and toffee. Lighter roast and molasses. Medium light bourbon and maple notes with some light oak. Light alcohol spice with a bit of anise and dark fruit. Moderately strong bitterness. Mouthfeel is full bodied and a bit sticky with medium carbonation. Low, but present astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty nice imperial stout. Nice maple, bourbon and oak notes. The alcohol is a bit strong and the bitterness and astringency a touch too high, but otherwise a really nice beer.
