Draft @ Extreme Beer Fest, 4 Feb, 17. Nice looking stout. Lasting tan head on top of the stout. Aroma is light coffee bean, mild maple, and maybe slight bacon.

I see what the brewer was going for here. Trying to make a stout similar to a Funky Buddha Maple Bacon Coffee Porter. Honestly, this stout is nicely constructed. Flavor of maple soaked chocolate, coffee, and the cured smoked pork belly giving some mild “bacon” nuances. Body is good and drinks fuller for a stout under 7%. The finish also has a nice amount of lingering coffee. Fine job on this one. Wow!
