| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 21, 2006 22 oz. brown bomber. No freshness date seen, but it’s a very fresh sample. Poured out a deep brown, with red highlights.My pocket beer engine produced a healthy tan colored head. Aromas are of maple syrup, toffee, caramels, and malts galore. No discernible hop aromas. Flavors are of maple syrup, Brach’s caramels, sweet malts. Alcohol is well hidden. Thick, creamy mouthfeel. Slick, but not oily. Decent body, especially for a syrup beer. Aftertastes are of maple syrup. Decent beer overall. I’m impressed. JasonG (700), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2006 22 oz. bottle on 10/22/06. Deep mahogany pour with a medium light tan head. Aroma of sweet caramel and roasted malts. Slightly sticky medium body with light carbonation. The maple syrup is certainly evident in the flavor, to the exclusion of anything else. Not much hop character evident. Finishes quite sweet, qulaifying it as more of a "dessert beer" in my opnion. jcwattsrugger (5532), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
