Shaker pint draft at Brass Onion in Overland Park, Kansas. The pour is an opaque black brown with a small khaki head that leaves behind thick lace. The aroma is toast and roast malt, cinnamon, and sweet maple syrup. The taste is big maple syrup sweetness up front, followed by spice of cinnamon and nutmeg and the malt toast notes behind. The palate is medium to heavy bodied with soft carbonation and the maple syrup lingering in the finish. This was very much a doughnut stout. Too sweet for my tastes, though for folks that are into this sort of thing, it was well made.
