Our gold medal winning imperial stout with maple syrup, coffee and bacon aged in Rye Whiskey Barrels, and then aged again on medium toasted oak spirals.
Luscious smokey maple and rich roasted chocolate coffee flavors give way to a hint of smooth vanilla and a giant oak finish.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a small bit of beige head that lingers. Aromas of burned plastic, bandaid and light smoke. All plastic and bandaid on the palate with a touch of bubblegum and smoke. This is one of the worst beers I've had in years. Awful stuff.

Draught @ BEERA Bar Aroma has licorice, cocoa, liquor and alcohol. Flavour has vanilla, strong woody tones, bourbon and chocolate. Alcohol is present and even disturbing a bit. Gets some unpleasant rubbery tones at the middle lf the glass. Decent slow sipper still.

Draught Small if lacey off-white head over reddish dark brown beer. Chocolate with (too) sweet additions, sweet spices and lactose, chcocolatebar. Sweet, vanillated, sweet-spiced stout with mild roast, lots of sweet malts, acquiring a taste as if a puffed rice candi maple chocolate bar is melted and served in a young oak mug. Quite well bodied, obviously, alcoholheat, obviously, and TOO SWEET. Obviously.

Pours very dark brown to black, small to no head. Scent is awesome syrupy chocolate mild maple, traces of oak. Superb balance, as is to be expected. Taste is full, intense on the body, chocolate, maple, oak. Milder yet very recognizable high quality whisky. Extremely nice beer for sure. A balance little can handle as well as odd side ales.

Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is very rich, dark malts, maple syrup, bacon, coffee, lots of rye. Big body, super smooth. Flavour is sweet, malty and extremely rich. Loads of dark malt complexity, umami from the bacon which is there as well, lots of rye, dark roast coffee. Rich oak notes that linger for ages with sweet vanilla. Beautiful.
