Big time maple aroma. Nice amber color with no head. Slightly sweet withe a good maple taste. Some chocolate flavors come through too.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 31, 2007 Growler, from Bowie location. Pours a very bright, clear, ruby-tinged orange color; significant, light tan head with good retention and solid lacing. Plenty of doughiness and soft bready notes in the aroma, coupled to a warm autumn / pumpkin spicing; a slight bit of red fruit coming through as well. Medium mouthfeel: some caramel and dried fruit and dough at the front, but without any stickiness; nice spice presence, showing plenty of warm cinnamon and nutmeg without falling into any of the rough, sugary potholes of the typical pumpkin beer; very well placed spicing and a pleasant German lager underneath. Medium, cinnamon and doughy finish; minimal sugar. A very pleasant autumn beer. beachbum25 (800), Powellville, Maryland, USA
