Chocolate and crystal malt sweetness is carefully balanced with roasted malt dryness. A touch of brown sugar and Belgian candi sugar complement the layers of Wisconsin maple syrup, Ecuadorian cocoa nibs, Mexican vanilla beans, and fresh roasted Mostra Coffee beans. (vegan)

Finally completing the Brew Export Advent Calendar. Can. Aroma has pungent coffee and a maple syrup streak. Dark and glossy. Thick foamy dark beige head. Flavourwise it's punchy - espresso and mocha with a contrasting crystallised sugary maple streak. Peripheral berry sourness. Thick. Creamy to oily. Soft carbonation with a lazily unwind unwinding fizziness. Good stuff to drink in a shack.
