Swiezy (246) - POLAND - JAN 4, 2022UPDATED: JAN 4, 2022 Wygląd: czarne, nieprzejrzyste, klarowne, piana drobna, brązowa, średnio obfita, dość szybko się redukuje do krążka wokół szkła.
Aromat: bardzo intensywny, słodki, mocno karmelowy, opiekany, dużo syropu klonowego, przypomina też trochę cukier muscovado, i dobre gorzkie czekoladki z suszoną śliwką w środku, na finiszu delikatnie tytoniowe. Pachnie intensywnie, bogato, jednak nie każdemu będzie się podobać ze względu na bardzo intensywną słodycz.
Smak: spodziewałem się po aromacie, że będzie zdecydowanie słodsze, a tutaj przyjemne zaskoczenie, pełnia średnia, delikatne nasycenie lekko musuje na języku i fajnie buduje bukiet. Zdecydowanie na pierwszym planie syrop klonowy, kakao i opiekane/tostowe posmaki, po przełknięciu przyjemna tytoniowa nuta z również z domieszką kakao i nutką popiołowej paloności. Finisz wytrawny, kakaowy, tytoniowy.
Solidne piwo, ale sztosem nie jest :)
umestre (325) - - DEC 5, 2021UPDATED: DEC 5, 2021 Me ha encantado esta imperial. Se nota el coco y toques dulces. Muy agradable en boca se mantiene el sabor mucho tiempo. Es dulce pero se nota también el alcohol. De lo mejor que me he bebido ultimamente

Pitch black colour, almost no head. Strong aroma of maple syrup, chocolate. Thick mouthfeel, it's moderately sweet (almost as if the thickness comes from else that just the sugars), roasted malt, a bit of acidity, and a lot of maple syrup. The alcohol is well hidden.
Interesting, but overpriced.

Appearance: dark brown with a beige head.
Aroma: lots of maple syrup with dark fruits, not sure how even to find a coconut with that much of maple syrup.
Taste: nice sweetness and body with some light acidity. Nice body, good sweetness.
Overall: surprisingly a quite nice beer even for the European guy who was not exposed to the maple syrup in his childhood.

laiti (10516) - Tampere, FINLAND - SEP 15, 2021UPDATED: SEP 15, 2021 33 cl bottle @ Utsjoki, BBE 09.01.2022

mcberko (34280) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 8, 2021UPDATED: SEP 8, 2021 330mL bottle, pours jet black with a small beige head. Aroma is intense, with a ridiculous amount of maple syrup and coconut upfront, followed by loads of molasses and brown sugar. Flavour is no less intense, with heaps of molasses, burnt brown sugar, maple syrup, and a touch of toasted coconut. Syrupy and viscous, fairly sweet but somehow not cloying. Really nice sweet, slow-sipping dessert beer.
