Maple Syrup, Coffee, Cocoa Nibs, Vanilla Beans
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)

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!

16 oz. can. Aroma is bold maple candy and moderate coffee. Ok, the positive: The body is full with a thick mouthfeel. Good coffee and vanilla. Negatives: Maple and brown sugar nearly dominate to the point of making it overly sweet. I was kind of expecting it given the name of the stout. Rides the line of cloying.
