--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Viscous black, no head. Aroma of maple syrup and licorice. Sweet with full body and viscous mouthfeel. Licorice, lots of maple syrup, some wood and coffee. Peppery finish. Maple syrup is a lovely ingredient, but it is easy to overdose. This one balances on the edge.

Flavour is fruity, some bitterness, chocolaty, mild inthe and some syrupy and alcohol tones. Pretty much like a Double Black IPA / Double Cascadian Dark...
