A- Chocolate, oak.

F- Oak, slightly bitter finish, roasty, bakers chocolate.

T- Full body, slightly thin texture, average carbonation, slightly tangy finish.

Bottle - black pour - heavy on the coffee, with slight abrasiveness, but not substantially so - warming, but not boozy - the maple is present, but not overpowering - oak is fairly strong throughout - finish had a light sharpness, but on the whole largely balanced - it’s good.

Bought locally, bottled July 24th 2025.

It pours a clear copper/gold with a finger of foam that shrinks quickly but doesn't go away completely. Lacing is excellent.

The smell is on the sweet side with big Bourbon aromas, caramel malt, light hints of grain, negligible hop presence. Big alcohol...

The taste is very boozy with the Bourbon front and center. Sweetness from it and caramel malt is pretty extreme yet isn't cloying, which I reckon is kind of a contradiction on my part. The alcohol started really big but now, it has calmed down somewhat. Just me getting used to what is going on here.

Pretty fullish body, carbonation is a bit restrained, which I like.

Interesting experiment but I probably won't drink again.

2023 bottle. Nice maple syrup smell as I pour into my tulip. Foamy brown head that dwindles swiftly. With my nose in the glass, I get some hot alcohol with a lighter note of maple. Taste has bourbon with extra sweetness. Kind of like an Old Fashioned. Gets heady after a few sips. The bourbon and maple are much more noticeable that any roasty malt, so it's a different beast that other Impy Stouts.
