What Our Editors Thought
"One-note maple nose. The sip is heavy in the mid-range—caramel, light chocolate, a touch of hop bitterness. A touch thin and unsupported relative to its peers."
What Our Panel Thought
"Cohesive blend of coffee and maple syrup across the nose; light fruit and green-pepper notes. Big, round, soft body. Layers of fruit-forward coffee, chocolate, maple. Sweet, restrained finish with roast that hampers drinkability. Underlying stout seems light; barrel adds spice that a richer beer would balance."
What the Brewers Say
"Coupled with coffee and maple syrup."
