Feb 2, 2009 12 oz bottle. Poured a cloudy amber color, good lacing. Aroma was maple, brown sugar, caramel malt. Flavor was very malty up front, some molasses and maple notes, abrupt finish. Less maple than I expected. Palate was a bit thin, not too bad though. Overall very drinkable.

Jan 30, 2009 Bottle, dark brown color. Coffee and toffee aroma. Heavy malt taste up front with nice compliments of sweetness and a little taste of hops. Good beer but it seems that it needs to be thicker or something.

Jan 26, 2009 Bottle at OT.
This is a big brown ale. It has loads of caramell and fruit aroma. A big lasting head. Lots of nice maltiness but also a small sweetness from the maple syrup. The bitterness is medium but also a small metallic taste. This is a good beer for the x-mas sweets.

Jan 25, 2009 Bottle. Very sweet fruity aroma. Deep brown body, no head. Flavor is moderately sweet, maple and caramel, with lots of woodiness. Not bad at all.

Jan 10, 2009 A deep reddish brown ale with a thin off white head. In mouth, a clean nutty sweet aroma. In mouth, a sweetish malt with light cinnamon and some boiled veggie notes. Heavy, oily and a bit cloying. On tap at RFD, Jan. 6 2009.

Jan 8, 2009 Updated: Jan 18, 2009Bottle (22oz) My bottle shared with blankboy, garthicus, GregClow and tupalev. Murky deep brown with tons of large floaties and a small beige head. This bottle HAS been sitting around for a while .... Dusty-dry aroma, leafy, nutty and lactic, underlying roast sweetness. The taste is quite different - boozy, a little stale/sour, soft dry herbal bitterness, but the malt seems thin and stretched, a little papery (yes, I guess this bottle IS old). Average body, a little acidity and dryness with the alcohol emerging slowly in the finish - it’s still drinkable, not bad, even if it is AARP-eligible.

Jan 5, 2009 <i>Bottle (650ml) shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus, GregClow & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry.</i> Pours a very deep ruby-orange with a small diminishing off-white head. Mild aroma of malt, nuts and light green hops. Flavour’s sweet, malty and musty along with some very light hops, nuts and alcohol. Average bodied. Disappointing, it’s O.K. but I expected better.
