Bourbon Barrel-Aged Madagascar Vanilla + Maple Syrup Imperial Stout
FO: Maple is a luxurious, cold-weather evolution of our flagship stout—finished with a generous addition of maple syrup for deeper sweetness and aromatic depth. Aromas of warm maple donuts, bourbon, and brownie batter rise from the glass, unfolding into silky layers of vanilla, toasted oak, and dark cacao on the palate. Like sap stirred by shifting seasons, this stout moves at a deliberate pace—quiet, rich, and extraordinary. Show Less

On tap at The Wandering Tortoise, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is rich and complex, with tons of vanilla beans, moderate maple syrup presence, sticky dark sugars, and of course big bourbon barrel notes to round things out. Flavour doesn't disappoint, with an incredible mix of maple syrup, vanilla, bourbon barrels, and dark sugars. Despite all the sugars, it's not even remotely cloying. Everything is beautifully integrated. Fantastic.

Tap. Pours inky black, small brown head, decent lacing. Aroma is fudge, vanilla, maple, bourbon, rich, roast. Flavor is sweet, light plus bitter. Full body, silky mouthfeel. Good.
