Nov 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy brown color with a minimal, frothy white head. Lacing is moderate. Aromas of maple syrup, toasted malts, brown sugar, and hints of chocolate. Moderate mouthfeel with a sticky finish. Flavors of maple syrup, chocolate, toasted malts, and a bit of raisin at the end. Good quality beer.

Nov 18, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark, clear, reddish brown with slight, almost nonexistent tan head. The aroma is sweet caramel, mixed nuts, and yes, maple syrup; there’s also a roasty note in the background. The flavor is maple syrup a pretty strong woodiness. Not woody like oak, woody like commercial lumber. There’s a husky nut taste in there that I’m not too fond of. The finish is earthy with a bit of caramel sweetness, and a sort of dry earthiness lingers into the aftertaste. Ok for what it is, I suppose, but not my cup of tea.

Oct 31, 2009 Thought this was going to pack a punch with the maple. But although thin, it will sneak up on you from the 9% ABV. Malty maple notes with slight hops and oak on the finish.

Oct 10, 2009 12oz bottle. Deep amber-brown color with a thin but steady beige head. Maple syrup and malt aroma. Big and malty, with a smooth caramel undertone. Very minimal hop balance, just a slight hint in the initial mouthfeel. For the ABV, it does a great job smoothing out and remaining drinkable. Relatively straightforward but still rather unique as you don’t see many big, malt centered Brown Ales like this. Not unlike a Doppelbock in it’s depth, but without the funky pungent yeast tones. Quite nice and mellow.
