Poured a translucent dark brown with copper hues with a foamy, lacing white head. Malty aroma could be sensed a foot away with grainy aromas up close. Flavor is heavy alcohol, maple, brown sugar and toffee. Heavy, syrupy mouthfeel, like a barley wine. Nice beer, but not a session brew.

A delicious, dark amber delight. Sweet with alcohol overtones, a beer you would sip to maximize enjoyment. Maple and chocolate overtones...best when allowed to warm up.

Very dark amber. Very sticky malt body, some hops in the finish. Rather sweet for my taste, no complex.

Bottle, very sweet alcohol is noticible, malty, not bad, but malts and alcohol dominate this brew.

A very enjoyable brew. Nice sweet whiff and while initially sweet, turns a slight bitterness on the back end. Very good stuff

Bottle. Nice deep ruby brownish colour with a medium fairly lasting off-white head. Malty and sweet aroma. Flavour is smooth, malty, caramellic, bit nutty with some hops. Nice malty finish.

Deep dark brown pour with a medium sized tan frothy head. The aroma is subtle, mostly sweet malts. The flavor is dominated by the sweat roasted malts. the Malt has a chocolate or toffee flavor, depending on what else you are eating or have had to drink. The finish is on the longer side. Not a bad beer at all, in fact I think I may have to get this again.
