Can. Black body under a small beige head. Aroma of dark malt, chocolate, coffee and caramel. Surprisingly little boozy considering the high ABV. Taste is sweet and smooth malty with chocolate, maple, nuts, dry fruit, port and some warming alcohol. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Smooth and definitively on the sweet side, but the lack of booziness is the biggest surprise here.

Can. A birthday gift off my best mate, who is by no means a beer nerd, but does know what I might like. Love a pecan, and who doesn’t like maple? Laughable how this is so easy drinking at 14%. Memorable.

Can, enjoyed whilst streaming dunk! 2021. Pours a hazy orangeish yellow, big head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is fruity and very juicy, lots of herbal hops, pine. Quite interesting earthy tones and grass. Medium body. Flavour is malty, rather rich, smooth but not creamy, mild oats. Very nice malt base. The hop flavour is beautifully balanced, with a light bitterness that is delightful. Lots of pine, earthy and herbal hops, and then juicy and fruity, peach, orange, lemon, some mango and passion fruit. Delicious, beautiful hop profile. This is a great DIPA, very balanced, with a beautiful hop profile.

Can bought from the Growlers & Cans stall at West Byfleet Farmers Market. Aroma is sweet, yet boozy. Makes me think of liquor filled chocolates only with added maple. Black. Inky. Creamy beige head retreats to the rim. Initial dark Chocolate bitterness. But with a sweet maple edge and low key dark berries. The walnuts then join the maple for a smoothing effect, with the bitterness pushed to the periphery. Booze more prominent into the finish. Thick bodied. Oily. Fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. This is the third maple based stout I've had recently and as much as it sounded like a good idea in the first two it just didn't quite work for me. However this is a lovely beer... the walnuts may be the contributing factor adding balance? A beer you could sink into.
