Pours out in a crystal clear reddish brown colour with a low disappearing off-white head. Strong and clean caramel aroma with notes of wood, nuts and burnt sugar. Nearly full-bodied with touches of burnt caramel, resin, fudge, caramilazed sugar and maybe some vanilla.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 18, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark, clear, reddish brown with slight, almost nonexistent tan head. The aroma is sweet caramel, mixed nuts, and yes, maple syrup; there’s also a roasty note in the background. The flavor is maple syrup a pretty strong woodiness. Not woody like oak, woody like commercial lumber. There’s a husky nut taste in there that I’m not too fond of. The finish is earthy with a bit of caramel sweetness, and a sort of dry earthiness lingers into the aftertaste. Ok for what it is, I suppose, but not my cup of tea. mar (1847), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 31, 2009 Thought this was going to pack a punch with the maple. But although thin, it will sneak up on you from the 9% ABV. Malty maple notes with slight hops and oak on the finish. nuplastikk (1193), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 10, 2009 12oz bottle. Deep amber-brown color with a thin but steady beige head. Maple syrup and malt aroma. Big and malty, with a smooth caramel undertone. Very minimal hop balance, just a slight hint in the initial mouthfeel. For the ABV, it does a great job smoothing out and remaining drinkable. Relatively straightforward but still rather unique as you don’t see many big, malt centered Brown Ales like this. Not unlike a Doppelbock in it’s depth, but without the funky pungent yeast tones. Quite nice and mellow.
