A collaboration long in the making. We give our freshly dumped bourbon barrels to B&E's Trees, where they go into a long slumber housing their magnificent Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup. We then take that magical barrel back and age an Imperial Stout in it, providing the earthy nuttiness of the Wisconsin Maple Trees to an already outstanding barrel aged stout. Enjoy this expression of collaboration and pure Wisconsin character.

Vintage unknown, but the bottle is at least a few years old. Pours a pitch black body and a dense brown head with pretty good retention. Aroma's: maple syrup from the bottle. From the glass: roasted malts, umami, booze, cocoa, wood. Retronasal it's sweetish, chocolate, bourbon, light wood. Flavour is quite sweet, maple, cocoa powder/milk chocolate. Medium bodied. Finishes with cocoa/chocolate and light roasty bitterness. Sweet but very nice.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, not much head. Aroma is toffee, nutty, some liquorice and alcohol tones. Flavour is floral, toffeeish, some roasted notes, liquorice and mild alcohol sweetness. Quite syrupy aftertaste.

(Draught at Biererei, Berlin, 22 Apr 2023. 10.5%) Black colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with espresso, treacle, wood, maple syrup and cacao. Malty, roasted, sweet taste with notes of sweet espresso, wood, maple syrup, burnt sugar, treacle, bourbon, vanilla and a gentle roasty bitterness. Full body, quite sweet. Rich and powerful, still mellow and gentle. Excellent balance. Great beer!

Fles gekregen van de kinderen. Zwart bier met een mooie licht bruine schuimkraag. Aroma is rokerig en fruitig van zwarte kers en pruim. Smaak is stroperig zoet (iets te) en rokerig. Nasmaak is eveneens zoet; plakkerig in de mond.

75cl Bottle @ Din Øl, Odense. Shared with Ronnemos1. Pours black with a small beige head. Slightly roasted with lots of vanilla, maple and chocolate sweetness. Smooth and soft. Had hoped for a roastier edge which is to my liking but a fine sweet dessert impy for sure.

On tap at Lucille. Pours black with a light brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has creamy pecan and sweet grains with a bit of sweet dark grain and roast supporting. Flavor has bourbon and bitter pecan supported by dark grains and a bit of roast.
