12oz can from my brother. Near black pour, thin ring of brown head. Aroma is roasty, chocolate and maple. Maple really comes in full in the taste, sweet, a lovely addition to the roasty, chocolaty base. So smooth, a touch of dry bitterness. Really, really tasty

Bomber at home shared with Laura. Brownish red colored beer, the head disappears quickly. Aroma and flavor are malts, light tart, hmm this might not be in the best shape still. It's an old bottle and there is some "decay" in there definitely.

Has aged very well. Nice semi-dark malt character, a little ash and smoke, dried berries, fudge, cocoa, earth, only very faint oxidation. Mellow warmth. Nice to have a big impy without the childish adjuncts.
