16oz (Matt's can) @ Sales Force. Vintage 2024. Appearance: very dark brown with Aroma: green peppers at first, some coffee, boozy, toasted barrel. Taste: oily, a lot of toasted barrel, sweet, coffee. Luckily, coudn't even detect the maple syrup. Overall: nice one.

2024. Dark brown. This has a lot of coffee, big bourbon, dark malts. The palate has a bit of nuttiness, largely the coffee, and some sweetness. I like the way this flows - it's lighter than you'd expect, but with lots of sweetness, touch of maple in the finish, some alcohol, the coffee isn't bad, this comes together well.

473mL can. Pours very dark brown with no head. Aroma has roasted coffee and bourbon barrels, getting some green pepper. Flavour is very rich, lots of bourbon, coffee, syrup; lingering booziness. Mouthfeel is smooth and almost chewy. Excellent.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 04/24/24 - 2024 variant). Very dark brown with no head. Coffee forward with roast and chocolate malt, maple character is super feint and simply serves to round everything out.

2024 vintage. 16 oz. can, pours jet black with a tiny head. Aroma is rich, with intense dark roast coffee, big maple syrup, and bourbon barrels. Flavour is very rich and sweet, with lots of maple syrup, coffee, and massive bourbon barrels. The maple syrup does induce quite a lot of sweetness, but it's tempered by the roast from the coffee and the booziness and depth from the bourbon. It's a bit brutal and over the top, but it's doubtless a tasty monster. Excellent.
