Commercial Description:
A delicate amount of Maple syrup is added to each barrel of our award winning Maple Nut Brown Ale to impart roasted sweetness. This addition balances the nut flavor produced by Munich caramel and chocolate malts used in the brewhouse, producing a drinkable dark amber ale with a relatively low alcohol content. 2000 World Beer Cup Gold Medal & 1996 Great American Beer Festival Bronze Medal Winner

(bottle): Dark brown, caramely color body. Creamy, nearly-white head, lasting. Very malty Aroma, sone dust, some dark sugar, maple I’d say. Dusty watery taste, some maple. A little nuttiness. Weak & ahmost headache inducing.

Bottle. Pours a pretty deep brown with almost no head due to seemingly limited carbonation. Nose is roasted carmelized nuts. I am a sucker for maple scented beers in the hopes that I find one that actually has discernable notes. This, as many others, did not. However, it was not so bad, not that I am a fan of browns. Sweet, some light bitterness as a counter balance, and continuation of the roasted qualities made this a decent brew, not that I would be going out looking for it again or anything.

Clear reddish brown with a thin tan head that lingers and remains for a nice cover. Nose is sweet, nutty, brown malts, a bit roasty. Light body and maple syrup hits instantly. Finishes caramel-maple sweet combo over the hints of nuttiness and roasted malt. Overall easy to drink if a bit sweet.

I concur with beerbaron16. I guess you have to try some less than stellar beers to appreciate the good ones.

A Mes rate: Bottle at GBBF.
A clean brown coloured beer with a thin beige rim on top. Full on cheese and brown sauce. A very sweet and sugary brown ale. Nutty caramel finish. Rather dull and nothing special.

Bottle. Dark brown, almost no head. Super sweet, syrupy flavor and aroma. Lots of honey, maple, and burnt sugar. The excessive sweetness and smokey finish don’t make this all that easy to drink for as light as the alcohol is. Not terrible, but not very good either.
