Can pour in trade with Steve. Opaque, inky black with light sparkle, nice viscosity, thin cap of head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is balanced sweet malt, coffee, maple syrup and vanilla. Taste is strong sweet malt and vanilla over more subtle maple and coffee. Smooth, thick, syrupy texture, soft carbonation, mild alcohol astringency and late mild warmth, with finish as taste. Aroma is better balanced though not as strong as taste. Alcohol presence in palate detracts. Still good.
