Can exploded in the climate-controled fridge. Guess fate decided it was time to open this ? Luckely no further damage (appart from some cleaning work) was done. Pours black, anned off white head. Scent is mostly roast, coffee and cocoa shines trough but maple doesn't. perhaps its refermented with the maple, causing the explosion, removing it's aroma ? Taste is farily sharp, drying sensation - towards acidic but it ain't, it's due to the sharpness of the acidity roasted malts can give, I recon. Coffee and cocoa bitters, no real maple syrup. Decent, not as great as I had hoped. Minus 0.5 for the fact that cans shouldn't explode, most definately not if they are temp controlled surrounding. Isn't even past the best by date, so if this is the best condition your beer is in, it's allowed to have questions - no ?

Bottle from Tesco, Brooklands. Aroma is low key - some fruit, some caramel. Amber. Thin frothy creamy white head soon recedes. Medium bitter (just). Grainy. Quinine. Fruity edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent. Nice enough.
