Black with a thin beige head. Body is thick and oily smooth. Big sweet bites with chocolate, maple, vanilla, wood, some roasted notes, with small amounts of dark fruit. Finish is long with sweet maple and some bittersweet cocoa. A luxurious and slow sipper.

Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in the pour with a small khaki foamy head which slid off nicely but once it did barely any lace formed
Aroma: big sweet maple syrupy whiffs, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, sweet wafers, some sweet wood
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together to a fine sweet character; finishes maple-y and chocolatey
Texture: medium bodied, this one's a sipper, very smooth and semi-slick along the tongue, not cloying
Overall: a very well done impy stout I would very much love to have again.

Another iteration of the bänger! Unsurprisingly, this is an especially sweet and smooth version. Aroma is heavy on maple syrup, wood, light licorice, and some earthy notes. Full bodied with a a thickish mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, malty, and extremely smooth, with a surprising amount of wood smoke. Maple syrup comes through nicely but doesn't overwhelm as it easily can. Long, quite bitter finish, but not unpleasant in it's bitterness. Good stuff.

330mL bottle from BeerGeek. Pours black with a beige head. Tons of dark roasted malt, maple syrup, and a fairly woody backbone. Flavour has dark roasted malts, a fairly dry maple syrup character, smoky wood finish. Nicely done maple imperial stout, manages to have a nice maple component without being overly sweet.

330ml bottle at Farmers Bar, Avenue K, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear almost black colour with a round bubbly off-white head. The aroma is roasty, biscuit, caramel. The flavour is moderate sweet and liquorice bitter, with a smooth, rich, roasty, light herbal, brown sugary, maple syrup, warm boozy, liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle, 0.33l. Deep brown, almost black pour, one finger creamy beige head, long lasting, sticky lacing on the glass. Sweet on the nose, maple syrup, caramel, figs, roasted malt, wood notes.
Full body, soft carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel and texture, thick, sticky, chewy. Taste is intensely sweet with some roasty bitter notes thrown in the background for the balance. Aroma of caramel, molasses, licorice, toffee, maple syrup. Figs, coffee, milk chocolate. Ashy, wood notes. Moderately strong alcohol, dry, warming. Long lasting finish, sweet, dry, boozy.
Slightly too sweet perhaps but enjoyable nonetheless.

33cl bottle from AbeerVinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark red/brown, practically black, with close to no foam. Aroma is of coffee and maple syrup. Body is thick and sticky, with moderate carbonation. Taste is intensely sweet and roasty. Final is still fairly intense, with persistence.
