The aroma is bitter - sweet, tangy, filthy, massive maple syrup, biggest coffee action, dark chocolate, dark chocolate covered coffee bean, spicy, umami, meatiness, touch of hendos, vanilla coffee, donuts and pancakes.

UPDATED: NOV 14, 2021 Pastrytown. Pours black. Maple, coffee, bourbon, light cinnamon, turmeric, chocolate, heady sweet maple. Good body. Excellent.

UPDATED: NOV 7, 2021 Bottle - nose is nutty and maple. Rich. Peanut butter? Chocolate and nuts. Easy to drink.

UPDATED: OCT 31, 2021 Draught at BGH (how did that happen): pours oily black with a beige head. Aroma is sublime combo of maple syrup and fragrant espresso with a combination of chocolate and roast to back that up. Taste is rather sweet with the maple taking up most of the space, but the flavors mentioned in aroma are all represented well. This is an expertly crafted beer.

UPDATED: SEP 28, 2021 Perfect beer. Very big stout with notes of coffee, maple and other sweetness. Pitch dark with a thin head. Smooth.

UPDATED: SEP 10, 2021 Oily Black pour, small brown head. Fantastic aroma of coffee, maple syrup, chocolate, butterscotch, and oak. Taste is just amazing, similar with vanilla and caramel rounding out the flavor. Syrupy thick. Amazing.

UPDATED: AUG 17, 2021 Opaque black with a medium tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Roasted malts, chocolate, maple syrup, some vanilla, coffee beans, and booze.

UPDATED: MAY 31, 2021 Vanilla and chocolate aroma, charming, there is almost no foam, black, wine cups, slightly bitter entrance is given priority to, like be like the melting of the taste of dark chocolate with maple syrup, taste is thick, sour feeling, sense of coffee beans at the end of the drink up relatively smooth, without sudden move, the overall feeling is more complete, the taste is a bit like prepared rhizome of rehmannia, then, is not the same as I thought a bit, But it's still perfect. It's finally out of the weeds, even though it's the '17 version 355.

UPDATED: MAR 22, 2021 Tons of maple and milk chocolate in the aroma. Jet black with no head. Taste also has heavy maple and chocolate notes with no booze burn. The palate is a little thin but the aftertaste lasts a long time. Excellent. Worthy of its ratings.
