Aroma: “Coffee, chocolate, roast, vanilla, maple. The base beer actually sticks through the coffee and maple indicating some semblance of balance.”

Flavor: “Rich coffee and chocolate sweetness with a light coffee spiciness in the middle of the sip that quickly transitions into a tobacco, leathery character right before the finish. Moderate alcohol warming. Aftertaste is a smoky, chocolate campfire with a moderate sweetness.”

Overall: “Highly complex. Excellent beer—the rich dark-roasted character from the stout and coffee balance perfectly with a lingering sweetness with complex flavors of caramel, chocolate, licorice, and dark fruit. I love this beer. All it needs is some sliced strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream.”
