Poured from bottle thanks Airforcehops black oily pour with nice lacing and a minimal tan head. Aromas of straight up maple syrup coffee dark chocolate and roasted malt. Taste is overly sweet too much maple can see drinking 2 oz and that?s enough. The flavors are good and natural but can?t see drinking 8 oz or more. I?ll let you know how it works in my pancake batter! Holy diabetes!

650 ml bottle purchased at Beertopia, Omaha, NE. Pitch black, very thin mocha head. Aroma is pure maple syrup. No, really pour this over you pancakes, wow. Very mild coffee.

The flavor shows heavy on the adjunct. Coffee is light upfront with a blast of maple syrup. Whiskey barrel even fights to get through the heavy maple syrup. Jesus... This would be a perfect for a stout reduction in a sauté pan to be used on your morning pancakes. Full, thick mouthfeel. I love bold stouts, I really do. This is really too sweet, if they scaled back the maple and let the coffee and barrel come through it would be awesome!

Catch up rating from Saturday’s RIS bottle share. Another big, boozy stout, silky, oily body, lots of wood notes along with some other savory essences, maple, whiskey, molasses, dark chocolate. A dessert beer for sure, would put a cap on great meal.

Boise Imperial Stout Tasting. Dark brown pour, small beige head. Fantastic aroma of vanilla, maple syrup, chocolate, and espresso. Rich and smooth taste, sweet, roasty, delicious. Nice barrel notes with the maple and vanilla. This is legit.

Bottle. A- Espresso beans, coffee, chocolate. A- Black color, black liquid, beige head. T- Coffee, espresso, chocolate. P- Full body, thin texture, average carbonation, full finish. O- Tried this as a fest last week and searched forever for it. Not on here and no response from the brewery. Turns out that’s because I tried it even before it was "officially" released. Now that it’s release party is tonight, I added it. Great beer. A bit thin on the body but otherwise simply excellent. Tons of espresso and chocolate and very tasty.
