Oct 26, 2007 A footbalm growler, opened whilst we were way too inebriated. Solid oatmal malt nose. Murky brown body. Sweet body with faint maple hiding amidst the malt flavors.

Oct 16, 2007 (growler thanks Footbalm) Pours muddy brown with an off-white head. Aroma of burnt malt, coffee, but no maple detected. Roasted malt and coffee make up the taste initially, but then the maple decides to make an appearance on the finish. Medium bodied, not too bad.

Oct 8, 2007 Grwoler courtesy of Footbalm. Pours a murky brown. Roasted malty sweetness on the nose. Palate is very similiar, with a light floral hoppiness on the finish, but no discernable maple present.

Oct 7, 2007 Sampled via 64-oz growler, supplied by footbalm. Pours a cloudy medium brown brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissolves to a fine film. Aroma of roasted coffee, caramel malt, a touch of maple syrup and some butterscotch. Taste is medium bodied, very little carbonation with a distinct flavor of caramel malt and maple syrup. Finish is slightly bitter and then a semi-sweet maple aftertaste.

Oct 6, 2007 Not bad, doesn’t really fit any style very well. Dark murky brown appearance. Light maple in the aroma. Flavor is medium sweet, just a little roasted character. Very smooth, and a hint of coffee.
