1 pint 3.2 oz. can. 2021 vintage…. Aroma is soft bourbon and chocolate. In the flavor of the maple does not overwhelm. Bourbon, oak, roasted malt and chocolate nuances. Body is thick and full. 12.3 is not really noticed. Overall, no sticky texture or overly sweet / brownie batter character. Pretty nice!

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with no head. Aroma of maple, bourbon and toasted/burnt malt. Full bodied. Flavor of maple, bourbon/vanilla and t/b malt. Not at all dry. Burnt malt bitter, and arguably some heat subs for hop bitter. Tho heat is not strong. Oatmeal is discernible after all the other things wash away. Tasty.

568 mL can thanks to chinhaez! 2020 vintage at 12.2 abv. Thick looking viscous black, thin tan head. Aroma of roast, oats, cherry, maple, nuts. Taste is roast, chocolate, maple, vanilla, caramel. Some nuttiness in the finish. Full bodied. Very sweet but the booze balances somewhat. Nice.

Stovepipe can. Blackish pour with a small beige head. The aroma is strong with Whiskey, caramel, vanilla, toffee and perhaps a trace of maple. The taste very sweet with lots of toffee in the forefront and whiskey, vanilla and maple filling in the back and sides. The palate is thick and viscous. Carbonation is soft. Paired very well with some alpine Emmental cheese. The sharpness of the cheese cut the sweetness nicely. Overall: A tad too sweet for me to make this a regular drink, but I do appreciate it as a well made stout.

19.2 oz can. Aroma is maple, caramel, coconut, licorice. Pours like motor oil with a thin beige head that collapses into a ring pretty quickly. Taste is sweet and chocolaty with flavors like the aroma. Good stuff, but a little too sweet to down this giant ass can all by myself. I'll probably push through and do it anyway, though.
