Can. Clear deep brown with a pale beige head that settles to a good cm. Aroma of bitter chocolate, some roast, bread, spices. Just medium bodied. The chocolate registers as a taste that fills out the bottom end but even more as a presence on the palate - sneakily rich. But it's not all that sweet and light roast and bready flavours still speak and the end is bitter enough to tie things up. Slips down. Not a novelty beer.

Pours a bit thinner than Iād expected, but dark chocolate. Smokey oaky nose. Round sweetness and booze dominate; Iām not getting much maple explicitly.

Can (Aldi). Just unclear amber with a very loose soapy white head. 3- Aroma of tropical fruit with some citrus and light breadcrust. Dryish with a more citrus than tropical fruit, then some pepper at the fairly bitter end. Not very complicated but more than solid. Very good value @ $14.99 for 6. What makes this an ISA?

Murky pour, not a very attractive beer. Grain and toffee in the nose, a little more of the spice complexity I would expect from aquavit barrels, some aniseed notes that last through the whole beer. Nice soft stickiness. Boozy finish
