UPDATED: MAR 15, 2021 Catching up on a large amount of reviews. Scores were detailed at the time but not notes. This is from a 2/15/18 Barrel Aged tasting at K&L Wines during SF Beer Week.

UPDATED: JAN 3, 2021 Pours oh so dark, a head so dark that it almost looks purple. Nose of wood, bourbon, kahlua. Maple comes through on the palate, cocoa, chocolate syrup, molasses, cask, coffee... Something is slightly off in the end, a little medicinal, even metallic. Overall pretty good.

UPDATED: NOV 26, 2020 Bottle thanks to Derek. Pours black with small tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is strong maple, roast, cocoa, wood, bourbon. Thick body, maple syrup, roasted malt, wood, dark chocolate, boozy finish, very good.

UPDATED: APR 2, 2020 A black beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, alcohol, bourbon, maple syrup, and dark chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, alcohol, liquorice, dark chocolate, maple syrup, and bourbon, leading to a dry roasted finish. Roasted finish

UPDATED: JAN 25, 2020 Bottle. Pours opaque black with a thin brown head. Aroma of bourbon, maple, oak, chocolate and vanilla. Flavor was rich, sweet and full bodied with dark chocolate, maple syrup, soft bourbon, vanilla, coffee and molasses. Fantastic imp stout.

UPDATED: DEC 14, 2019 Opaque black beer with a slight brown head. Heavy aroma; taste starts medium/heavy sweet and ends slightly bitter and dry. Wood, bourbon, vanilla, maple, chocolate, mocha and roasted malts. 9/5/9/4

UPDATED: MAY 30, 2019 Oily black beer. Super sweet, dark chocolate and maple syrup, Bourbon barrel and vanilla, some booze but really sticky sweet. Bourbon balances the sweetness but well I like sweet so I'll gladly enjoy it.

UPDATED: MAY 18, 2019 (650ml bottle from Beergium) Pours pitch black with an average brown head. Notes of dark chocolate malts, sweetish and rather brownie-like, with a bit of molasses, moderate roast, decent amount of maple syrup, toasty nuts, cookies, smooth bourbon and vanilla, hints of char. Dries into the finish with dark chocolate, cookies, almonds, light coffee, maple, soft spirit heat, low dusty roast bitterness. Medium-full creamy body with soft carbonation. Proper dessert beer, not pure sugar but rich and well-made. Good stuff as I'd expect.

UPDATED: MAY 11, 2019 Bottle shared at Kingsday Tasting 2019. Opaque black color, decent sized light brown colored head. Smell and taste malts, maple, sweetish, somewhat sugary, slightly brown malts. Quite good. 8-3-8-4-15.

UPDATED: APR 29, 2019 Benzai’s Biertuin Dark chocolate, bourbon, maple, soft, sweet, coconut, a bit too cold perhaps, fizzy carbo, thick, roasted, nice
