On tap at the Year One celebration, looks like the others, viscous black with some sticky beige head. Nose has the same as the base, malty, roasty, chocolate, some sweeter notes perhaps. Flavor starts to slide a bit, maple is so tricky, much of the base is washed out with just sweetness left over. Finishes a touch cloying. The least successful treatment of Radio Burst.

Viscous black with some sticky beige head. Nose is cool, blueberries and blueberry jam, pie notes, milk sugar is here. Perhaps the nose is a little muted. Flavor is so delicious though, sweet berries and cream, ice cream, chocolate, cinnamon works to balance the sweet notes, some caramel. Cinnamon adds a delightful zippy character to a finish that's full bodied and just sweet enough.
