On tap at Side Project Cellar. Black with brownish head. Too sweet, but so nice and intensive coconut and chocolate. Smooth and silky as hell. Medium to full bodied.

750mL bottle, pours a syrupy jet black with almost no head. Aroma is full of maple syrup, rich coffee, and some dark sugars. Flavour is extremely rich, with tons of maple syrupy and coffee intensity, wjth dark sugars. Very syrupy, oily finish. Good but rather brutal and lacking depth.

Poured from 750mL bottle (2021 vintage) @ Black Xmas. Black with tan head. Coffee forward, maple syrup, mild chocolate, good stuff.

750ml (thx, Brent L.!) @ Black Christmas 2023 at Heritage Hall. Appearance: very dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: maple syrup bomb, to me it smells identical to Mornin' Delight. Taste: along the same lines, lots of maple syrup, BUT... There is a very big BUT. It has a very nice integration with coffee and chocolate and the sweetness is just in the appropriate level. Overall: surprisingly nicely balanced and good for a maple surprisingly hater.
