Can from Tavour. Pours very dark brown with a small, transient creamy tan head. Maple wafts from the pour. Full bodied. Flavor is burnt/roast malt, coffee, maple, and some chocolate. Not dry, but bitter enough to approach balance. Tasty stuff.

Canned 11/26/24, drunk 11/26/25, as pictured.
Lots of cocoa, with mild, fruity coffee and tasteful peppermint, and a touch of gross lactose. Chocolatey, light roast but not a huge stout character in the nose.
Soft and sweet with peppermint and licorice character. At one year old (exactly), it's very tasteful on the adjuncts, though I can't imagine it a year ago, not to mention it's still on the sweeter side at one year out. But the texture is incredibly comforting and despite the lactose, the base malt is deep. Can definitely understand DrinkMcDermotts lower score six months ago, and maybe I shouldn't be so lenient given that it wasn't aged by the brewery (but should have been).
