Opaque black beer. Thin and crispish palate (especially for a stout). Mild and well balanced coffee with gently roasted malt. A smooth almost sweet ending with just a bit of hop coming through. A nice clean cut stout that doesn’t try to be a meal replacement! Well joined up and tasty!

Bottle: Poured a clear dark color ale with a nice foamy head with OK retention and some light lacing. Aroma of light dry aromatic coffee with light dry roasted malt with a nice touch of sweet notes. Taste is also a nice mix between aromatic coffee with light dry roasted notes and light lactose-like notes which must be originating from the maple. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very well brewed with nice level complexity and drinkability.
