Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a pitch black with a finger of brown head that lingers. Big maple forward nose with endless coffee aromas. Thick and full-bodied, rich stout with again, lots of maple and coffee. Sweet but not overly so. Chewy mid-palate, brownies abound. Finish has some roasty coffee notes and more maple. My first taste of Mikerphone and it wasn't a disappointment.

Bottle thanks to Chow. Pours a very dark brown with small tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is roasted malt and strong peppers. Medium body, cocoa, roast, nice heat from peppers, boozy finish, very good.

Dark brown. Pours quite inky, with no head. Nice and oily. The aroma has a lot of coffee and dark burnt molassesy sugars. Sweet. Lots of maple, lots of coffee, has a lot of malt. There's a fair bit of bitterness and alcohol. The finish showcases both the maple syrup and the alcohol, but the very end of the aftertaste is coffee.

Bottle - Sweet Syrupy dark roast. Jet dark brown with a small brown head. Dark sweet roast. Over the top, but a surprising balance because of the bitterness. Nice.

750mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of maple syrup upfront, followed by coffee, and light cocoa. Flavour is intense, with shitloads of maple syrup upfront, followed by lots of fresh roasted espresso beans, and a touch of vanilla. You'd think this was sweet from the description, but there is a nicely cutting bitterness than balances out the sweetness well. Excellent.

750ml bottle (thx, Justin I.!) at Matt's. Pours an oily almost black with a dark beige head. Aroma is sweet wirh maple syrup, coffee and some burnt sugar notes. Similar taste. Quite complex and nice stuff.

SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING! 750 mL bottle from Mikerphone, purchased on the day of my sister’s wedding. Hazy orange, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of strong mango, papaya, pine, pale malt. 1-2-OH MY GOD! The taste is strong mango and tropical fruit, kinda like a canned fruit cocktail, pale malt, grapefruit. Medium bodied, juicy. Too fruity, if that makes any sense. Technically I’m as hard as steel.
