Taster from a 500ml bottle. Inky black pour brief tan head. Tons of sweet maple and tootsie roll aromas and flavors. Plenty sweet but also some ABV burn that cuts through. Definitely a dessert sipper

500mL bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is intense, with lots of maple syrup, bourbon barrels, vanilla, and chocolate fudge. Flavour is very sweet, with intense maple syrup, bourbon barrels, and chocolate fudge. Lots of bourbon and maple syrup, with excessive sweetness. It does get very cloying the more you drink, but the flavours are so nice that it's somewhat forgiven. Tasty.

Bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver Black colour; it pours thick, viscous. Aroma of dark chocolate, caramel, light tobacco, traces of phenol; as it warms up, more vanilla and maple syrup. Sweet and syrupy, ultradense; liquid chocolate flavour, with raisins, brown sugar, dry plums; pleasant alcohol warmth, bourbon; incredibly rich, which is not the same as complex, but for sure it's a crowd pleaser (where the crowd is me).

500ml shared with George @ 🏡 celebrating his new job. Appearance: almost black with a weak dark beige head. Aroma: lots of barrel character with some nice sweetness coming from maple syrup. Taste: very silky and quite sweet, balanced maple syrup. Overall: a bit over-sweet, but it's quite nice, especially in terms of the balanced addition of maple syrup.

Bottle. Pours black with short tan head. Aromas of creamy chocolate, sweet bourbon, coconut and slick roasted malts. Rich smooth flavors follow same with additional maple syrup well balanced by the bourbon. Very good

The aromas are mainly oak and dark malt with some vanilla, raisins, molasses and maybe a hint of maple. Flavors are very much like nose, pushing the envelope with the sweetness but still drinkable. Some toastiness in there. Good body carbonation and dark malt sweet finish. Definitely a sipping beer maybe sipping and sharing. Don't pick up a lot of the alcohol though.
