Bought a few years ago. No bitterness, but did get the maple flavor

I really liked this beer when it was released... 8 years ago. It has diminished, but it's still pretty good. The bitter hops and dark malt plus 10.8% body and bourbon maple barrel all persisted enough to mask the aged hop flavor

Whoa! Tasty Black Imp. IPA! Maple, Bourbon & anise, beautiful! 😍 Halloween bottle share w/the Patrick, Betty, Jeff & the Crafty Bastards crew! 🍻

This was an aged beer from Justin’s private stash. Rest in peace, my friend.

Touch sweet and syrupy for my tastes, but that’s what they were going for, and as most things Founders, finely crafted.

Not sure how old but still not bad. Definitely not what it was, but still good.

This is a mind F***. Tastes like a stout had a baby with a farmhouse and the body of a black ipa. Amazing!

Dug this one out of the cellar for dinner tonight. Dark bitterness set in strongly. 🍻🍻

Been in the cellar a long time. Not IPA so much, some bitter, not porter or barley wine flavor. Just a touch of Bourbon, no maple.

Raising my initial rating. Nice black IPA with a hint of oak barrel. Not too much bourbon but still good.

Not feeling it this time. Was a lot better a few months ago. Definitely taste the ipa. Bitter maple has faded

Did not hold up well. Soy sauce aroma. Tastes like umami and mint 🤮 polarizing combination malt/hops/adjuncts only worked fresh

Perhaps a bit old now. I'm getting less maple now. Still tastes great, though! Giving it my original rating.
