Forgotten Road Ales M 3rd 25th/ Forever Fight with Ones Self
What the brewers say
“We added coffee, maple syrup, and vanilla to our barrel-aged big stout.”
What our panel thought
“Wake up!’ shouts the aroma. ‘We have coffee and maple pancakes!’ (And some chocolate syrup.) The sweet flavor echoes the aroma: coffee, maple, and chocolate. An assertive bitterness (barely) keeps the sweetness from being cloying.”
What our editors thought
“Evocative nose with nutty coffee tones and a wide range from deep roast and chocolate through maple and vanilla highs. Vibrant chocolate and coffee build a base in the sip with a round but punctual bitterness that contrasts with the more indulgent elements.”
