About This Beer

Every time we snag a stash of Mikkeller’s maple syrup and coffee-drenched Imperial Stout, y’all snatch it up like hotcakes fresh off the griddle! And you give it rave reviews like “As close to perfect as could be.”

Tasting Notes

For the uninitiated, this smooth sipper is brimming with roasty notes of breakfast goodness. Big maple flavor flows through a morning cup of joe, finding nuances of dusky cinnamon, sticky molasses, and baker’s chocolate along the way. As the brew warms, the java bitterness fades into a lush, richly decadent dram.

I love Mikkeller beers but this one didn't have the same wow factor as others.

I usually love their beers but this one was a bit too syrupy sweet for me

As close to perfect as could be, maple syrup, boozy, coffee, chocolate, fruity, thick, syrupy all the good things! Need this for all the pancakes!

Way too much maple. I know that's in the description but it made it too sweet and a little one dimensional.

A little too much going on with the sweet side. Ends drier.

Good mouthfeel. Sweet maple with balanced coffee. Let warm slightly and coffee bitterness subsides. At 12% really smooth.

Dark coffee right up front. Lots of maple in the nose but not much in flavor. Sweet back end smooths out the coffee a little

Wow. Super good. Maple syrup is not overdone. Roasted malts and some good bitterness on the finish. Can’t wait to try the barrel aged version.

Very nice dessert beer. The addition of maple syrup adds a different layer of sweet.

Very well done! Amazing Stout. I don’t know much of what they could have done better. Maybe a little less subtle with the notes. Still, while this is great quality, one or two would be fine by me. Not something I would want to buy over and over again.
