Can from Vocation & Co, Hebden Bridge. Black with a small off-white head, and pours a bit like oil. Has a good roasted nose, but the main maple notes are in its taste, which has a mild sweetness about it, but not a sticky texture, this remains relatively smooth.

440ml can. Black with a big, foamy brown head. Aroma of toasted marshmallows, flavour is rotated malt with plenty of maple. Not getting a lot of coconut but that's no bad thing

440ml can from Sainsburys. Jet black in colour, with a tight, beige, head. Aroma of dense, plain chocolate, oak, roasted malts and a hint of maple syrup in the background. Complex flavours, with masses more plain chocolate, vanilla oak, some red berries and orange peel, with light and slightly creamy malts. There was also the maple syrup, which became more pronounced and sweet throughout the drink. The finish was warming and surprisingly boozy for 6.78%. Very enjoyable.

Can. Nose is coffee, chocolate, caramel, hint of licorice and plum. Taste is coffee caramel, pronounced maple syrup, chocolate, lightly fruity. The syrup is a little much in the coconut finish. It's nice, the coconut flavours (I assume sable) are not for me but blend well.

Dark brown, near black with a frothy tan head. Rich and luscious, nice maple syrup aroma and flavour, with sweet chocolate and coconut coming through nicely, some dry roasted malt finishing it off

Can from Sainsbury's. Pours dark red-brown with a thin beige head. Aromas of dark chocolate, faint maple and vanilla. Taste brings the hint of coconut, soft maple, lots of chocolate. Light sweet finish, a tad thin.
