2016 vintage, waxed bottle labeled as "maple bourbon barrel aged maple porter". I'm hoping that I'm depositing this review in the right spot...
Poured into an 2016 FO glass. Virtually no head; the little that’s there dissipates quickly. Nose is a bit subdued in light of expectations; mostly maple, toffee, vanilla, hints of chocolate, and oak of course. Palate is not subdued at all: tons of maple and maple barrel, butterscotch, toffee, vanilla, and chocolate fudge. I’m also getting some ashtray that oddly complements the beer well. Very rich and a bit heavy-handed, but still very enjoyable. Would have again.

snagged this in a recent swap. always a fan of dark horse and maple bourbon...? sounds good to me. had side by side with the bourbon 3 legs.
maple is big on this one compared to the 3 legs. this is quite fantastic as the 3 legs is too boozy and the maple is more of a hint. although a bit intense, this one is an easy favorite for me.

It is an shiny/oily black pour from a waxed 12 oz. bottle. A little bit of dark tan foam. Fairly wispy.
It smells very sweet. Lots of maple and vanilla. Some distinct bourbon and ashy, charred oak. A strong chocolate undertone.
Maple flavor is front and center. It taste like syrup drizzled over some brownies made with more of a cocoa/milk chocolate rather than dark. A nice amount of vanilla, bourbon, and barrel flavor in there. The charred taste doesn't come through quite as much as the aroma and I would like to get a little more roasted malt form it to balance the sweetness.
It is medium bodied, bordering on heavy with the syrupy feel. Carbonation is on the lighter side.
This is much better than the 3 Pairs of Legs. It reminds me of Thirsty Dog' Maple Porter a lot. If you are looking for a very maple forward beer you shouldn't be disappointed
