Last year we had some mysterious maple spirit barrels called 'creme brulee' barrels.
Here is our imperial stout Debauchery IV with the added deliciousness of Canadian maple!

Brethren provideth at the CBJ Tasting. Opaque dark cola brown. No head. Aroma has sweet maple and booze. Flavourwise it is very sweet.- molasses and maple. Thick. Oily. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Not their best!

Oily and sugary, low carb, some woody barrel accents, a faint metallic accent. Gooey dark fruits. So so.

Tasting at CBJ, thanks to Bearded Avenger. Almost clear amber brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Airy smooth palate, modest fine carbonation. Sugary sweet dark malts. Tangy maple and ripe fruits. Smooth finish. Tasty but far too sweet.

Bottle split at Craft Beer Junction, thanks to Kenneth, 10/12/2025.
Black with a tan cap that escapes to the edge.
Nose is maple syrup, molasses, dark malts, dried fruit rinds.
Taste comprises candied fruits, big maple profile, nutty, chocolate, hint of booze.
Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Okay sipper but overly sweet and lacking balance in places.
