Well, at 9.8% ABV, this is certainly a ’big’ brown ale. But, it tasted just like any other brown ale out there. There was nothing imperial about it. I guess the emperor has no clothes.

May 14, 2006 Aroma is overly sweet, as is the taste. A bit off-balance and thin with a dry finish. I was expecting more of a dessert beer, which I guess this might qualify as, but it just didn’t hit the mark I was looking for. Not an overall disappointment but there are much better brown ales out there.

Apr 28, 2006 The aroma has lots of alcohol, sugar, toasted malt, and a little maple syrup. The appearance is dark red brown with a medium head. The flavor is toasted malt, brown sugar, maple syrup, nuts, chocolate, and alcohol. The palate is average. If you didn’t know from my ratings this is a sweet beer and it should be however it would benefit from more maple syrup taste.

Apr 28, 2006 I was kinda shocked that the alcohol content is not as strong as it would appear to be, even though its almost 10%.
A smooth, almost buttery texture with very sweet nut tones, its got a great flavor. Drink it with desserts

Apr 21, 2006 Deep brown with an off-white head. Aroma is very sweet. I guess I could buy it’s maple and nutty, but what my brain said was "Grape Nehi." There was some beer in there, too, but if I didn’t know what I was smelling, I would swear it was a soda. In the mouth, I detected maple and nuts (with just a hint of the Nehi). It was moderately bitter to finish. Body was full and creamy with moderate carbonation. Although strange, I liked it more than my raw numbers would warrant. Maybe it was the buzz I caught after about the third sip. Thanks to jimbowood for this one.

Apr 13, 2006 Interesting, but somewhat bland, aroma is honey roasted peanuts and somewhat woody. Lacks the malty complexity I was hoping for. Flavor is mildly mapley, with just a hint of caramel and chocolate covered peanuts. Decent, but not the best I have ever had.
