Having Christmas Day kids game day. My son and I are having "split out of town beer" day, another one from Kansas City. Short head, opaque brown color. Strong aroma of maple syrup on hot pancakes. Thin and crisp texture, not what I would expect from a stout. Flavor has a roasted quality, bittersweet, with a mellowed maple flavor. Not near as sweet or heavy as maple syrup. Finish ads some bitterness and some sourness that does not add to the enjoyment of the beer. The aroma started out excellent but the beer never really caught up to that quality.
