Black colour, small head. Aroma is soy sauce, some maple syrup, alcohol and some mild dried fruity tones. Flavour is maple syrup, some sweet boozy tones with mild chocolate and dried fruits as well. Overly sweet. A bit coffeeish tones in the finish and aftertaste.

Bottle shared by Joen. Dark brown to black color, average sized light to medium brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, soft roast, roasty bitter, bitter finish that lingers. Quite solid, but I dont really get the maple that clearly tbh. Oh well, nice beer nonetheless!

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.
