Starts up front with cacao and a bit of burnt sugar, and then the heat comes. The chili is actually quite fruity (the habaneros?) in a way that isn't super enjoyable IMO. Sits tacky in the throat afterwards.

Very sweet but not syrupy. Vanilla, cinnamon.

Lack of checking maltlog bit me here. Not good. Vegetal, weirdly smoky, super sweet. At least it’s not sour to boot, but more on that in a sec.

Puts the syrup in syrupy, oh lord. At this point I'm not sure I have liked any of these maple breakfast stouts; the coffee is just inspidily sweet, but the maple seems tacked-on and thin, not natural. By the end of my glass I was having a real hard time. (FWIW, I really didn't enjoy CBS, either)

Okay, I swear I typed "watermelon" in the title, but now it's not there . Sour, sweet, Little bit of watermelon, that to their credit tastes like fruit and not candy. It's a good job, but I could do without the sweet and with a bit more interesting flavor on the pucker .
