Keg at Awakening 23. Aroma is chocolatey with a sour creamy streak. Opaque chestnut. Super bubbly frothy bath foam off-white head. Creamy coffee and dark chocolate. Tangy dark berry edge. Light-medium bodied. Creamy. Flat-average carbonation. Long finish. Enjoyable enough but gets slightly too sweet for me.

Keg at Awakening 23. The maple is most prominent in the aroma, followed by tge forest fruits. Not sure the charcoal comes through. But it does in its appearance - dark brown... charcoal in forest fruits. Thin white head is, yeah, thin. Initial fruity hit, followed up by the maple syrup. The charcoal and coconut take the edge off. More evident in the finish. Thick. Oily. Flat carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Big. Fruity. Balanced. Not for purists.
