Apr 18, 2008 Highly enjoyable. Clear dark brown pour with a tiny head. Nutty malt aroma and a sweet, potent nut brown flavor. Very rich with a big alcohol presence and a great balance. Bold, yet tasteful. Loved it.

Apr 15, 2008 Pours dark brown, with no foam, fizz, or fanfare. Weak lacing. Aroma of dark nut, maple, malt and syrup. Medium, syrupy mouthfeel. Cocoa, malt, corriander, nut, and maple sugar in the flavor. Thick finish. A full flavored beer no dought, but a litle chewy for even my tastes and I like stouts. The high alc. % is neigh detectable. They did a good job hiding it.

Apr 13, 2008 Pours brown with a nice tan head. Nice aroma of maple syrup and dried fruits. Bitter and bold flavor.

Apr 12, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours reddish brown with haze, small floaters, and almost no head, though paradoxically lacy. Aroma includes dark malts, syrup, dried fruits and some sour lactose. Bold, but smooth flavor. Sweet, but balanced nicely by bitterness and alcoholic warmth. Full-bodied with a smooth, creamy palate. Not much "nut brown" coming through, but plenty of "strong ale". This is a really nice beer; I’m surprised it is rated so low.

Apr 6, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a slight tan head. Aroma is mostly cocoa. Tastes of sweet flavors which blended together. I think I may have been tasting the maple syrup. Palate is medium with a sweet boozy taste. Overpriced in my opinion.

Mar 29, 2008 this beer is fine if you like the flavor of melted chocolate ice cream. hop flavor is nearly gone, malt leans a little bit too far towards the chocolate side for me. very smooth beer though...

Mar 14, 2008 Pours clear light brown with a medium head. Aroma is typical of a nut brown with sweet malt dominating. Mouth feel is thin with a good amount of carbonation. Flavor is lacking with some sweetness and a bit of nuttiness. A touch of hop and alcohol finishes the flavor profile. Not an offensive beer, just nothing special.

Mar 12, 2008 This beer pours very dark and when light shines through,you can see a bit of a red color to the brew. The head was a bit disappointing as there was virtually none. There was a bit of an alcohol scent mixed with the sweet smell from maple syrup. The flavor of the beer was a bit sweet from the flavor of the malts and had a slight syrup taste. For the amount of alcohol within this brew, it sure hides it very well.
