| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 25, 2008 $1.49 12 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clear, maple syrup-colored brown body with a small, white head.
Smell: Toasty, nutty maltiness with a sweetened cocoa note and a distant maple character like driving past an IHOP.
Taste: Sweetish mixture of cocoa, caramel, nuts and toast make up the maltiness. Light maple syrup character that grows and develops with each sip. Slight spicy hop component shows up but quickly drops out, leaving the beer to finish almost as sweet as it starts. Starts reminding me of a soda before long.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Decent malt profile and the addition of maple syrup does it’s best to try and spruce up the standard brown ale, a beer many find outright boring. KimJohansen (7126), Copenhagen V, Denmark
