| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 19, 2009 Bottle. Thanks to Daknole for the hookup! Pours a deep, um, brown color. Decent head, some lacing. Flavor is chocolate malts, roasted malts, maple syrup, nice bit of hops toward the end help dry it up. Finish is a bit of alcohol mild burn on the way down with a nice bit of crystallized maple syrup in there too. Overall not a bad beer. Tripplebrew (503), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 19, 2009 Pours a very hazy caramel. Aroma is very brown sugar, nutty caramel and bourbon notes. Flavor is not as strong as would be expected from the aroma. It is nutty with mild brown sugar notes. Body is light with high carbonation. anders37 (4793), Malmö, Sweden

Sweetish malty caramel flavor with some nutty hints. Hasa sweetish malty nutty caramel finish. livelaughlovep (96), Lakewood, Ohio, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 30, 2009 Best drink it cold. I drank about half cold, half nearly room temp - it gets sweeter (almost sickeningly so) as it warms. Nutty, malty, didn’t taste any maple syrup to speak of...

| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Pours a dark brown with burnt orange highlights and an interesting tan head, kinda small. Aroma is maple, pears, coriander (some weird spice), burned rubber, and rotten fruit. Huh? The flavor is stranger, very tangy with a real strong bad lemon/pear flavor coming through the dull malt. Some maple is there, but the beer isn’t sweet like it should be. Gah, it’s like all the acidity and none of the coffee. Finishes a little nutty, astringent and cheap. Prickly carbonation, medium heavy body. WTF is going on here? This is terrible! topherh (943), Kearney, Missouri, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 7, 2009 Pours brown with reddish edges and a tiny head that disappates to a white ring at the edge. Aroma is lots of sugary sweet malt and maple syrup. Flavor is not as sweet as I expected, slightly nutty, and a little bitterness in the finish. Alcohol is very well hidden.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 6, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a ruby brown with a very small, light tan head. The head fades quickly leaving no lacing. Sweet malt, maple syrup, and candy sugar notes in the nose. Medium-low carbonation with a sticky mouthfeel. My first impression is an overly sweet maple taste on the palate. Full bodied with a hint of dryness in it. Tastes of nuts, earth, minerals, and malt sweetness. The alcohol is well hidden. The finish is long with some lingering sweetness and a touch of earth. A little on the sweet side, but very drinkable. morrdt (609), Jacksonville, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 18, 2009 12 ounce single bottle from Total Wine here in Jacksonville, Florida. Kiss the spring time bitches. Bottle is marked 9% alcohol - don’t know if it is a full 9.8% or not. Anyways...beer pours a cloudy brown color with a very small head. Aroma is all maple syrup and nuts. Taste is the same and finishes very nicely, no real weird taste to this one. I think it hides the alcohol content very well - a very good beer.
