The beer poured a dark translucent ruby colour with a very thin head and some floaties. Aroma alcohol, raisins, caramel, and molasses. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with ample carbonation. Flavour is sweet with the alcohol leaving a trail down to the stomach. Caramel, raisins, and molasses dominated the flavour but I felt I could detect some candy sugar in the mix. A very good beer, and definitely a sipper!
This was part of the 2013 LCBO Spring release, but this would have been great as a winter warmer.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

The beer was poured a coca-cola black colour with a thin tan ring for a head. The aroma was vanilla, coffee, chocolate, and dark fruit. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour was on the sweet for a Russisan Imperial Stout. Vanilla and chocolate dominate the flavour with latent coffee hints.Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

The beer pours a hazed light gold colour with almost no head. The aroma definitely has maple in it, fruit, yeast and grains. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour is yeast, grains, and light fruits. Quite refreshing, moreso than flavourful.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

The beer pours a slightly hazed golden-red with a frothy light tan cap. The aroma is citrusy hops, caramel, and grass. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with mild carbonation. Flavour is grapefruit, light caramel, and some grainy notes. Very nice, but missing the hop bite.
