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.

Can at home. Opaque pitch black color, small brown head that diminishes quickly. Aroma and flavor are malts, dark malts, mocha, candy sugar, lightly some coffee beans, maple syrup. Too sweet for my liking. Solid, but too sweet. Finishing the can will probably be tough.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a creamy/foamy darkish tan head. Aroma of maple, coffee and vanilla. Full bodied. Flavor is maple, coffee, vanilla, dark chocolate and toasted malt. Not at all dry. Yet somewhat bitter. Heat is present, but not intrusive. Tasty!
