Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop Downtown. Pours brown with a small dusting of a head and lots of carbonation in the glass. Aroma is chocolate candy, wet dog, minor coffee. Flavor is bittersweet chocolate, coffee, roasted caramel malt, hint of sweetness at the end which is the only hint of maple. It’s fine.

Draft at a Potomac Nationals game. Poured a nearly pitch black color, at least from a distance - really dark brown color with a small tan head. Aroma was a ton of roasted malt notes, dark chocolate notes, light coffee. Light smoky malts, caramel malts. Maple isn’t really too noticeable.
