Taste is sweet maple syrup. It is a little watery.... Also caramel, roasted malt and hint of chocolate. Not bad, just a little thin.

Clear mahogany color. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Malty maple nose.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 21, 2008 On tap at the Brewery. Nut browns can be a wonderful treat to the inexperience, or pro. Unfortunately, this is not it! Heavy-handed on the maple, and just not any fun to drink. Oh well. yayforbeer (648), Orange Park, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 20, 2008 12oz single from Total Wine. Amber brown beer with a small offwhite head. Sweet malt aroma. Sweet, nutty, and maple flavors up front. A bit of weird chemical character was present initially but faded quickly. Disappointed at the low abv, but I suppose some people like that. Tasted a lot better than I expected for this brewer. One of my least favorite brewers. Not bad for a brown ale, in spite of the low abv. zebracakes (1216), Washington DC, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Jun 18, 2008 Bottle purchased at D’s Six Pax. Pours hazy orange brown, thin white head. Aroma is malt, caramel, roasted nuts. Flavor is slightly smokey, malty, roasty. Not terrible, but I’ve had better. dkachur (2411), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 14, 2008 Bottle from a sampler. Dark brown pour with no head. Nutty maple aroma. Nutty maple taste. This really lives up to its name. If you’re not a fan of maple, you’ll find the taste a bit much, but if you love maple like me, this is pretty good. emerica56 (583), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 13, 2008 Pours a dark nut brown color with a thin tan head, and leaves some minor laceing along the sides of the glass. the nose is very tart with hints of roasted walnut and some sweet caramelized sugar. Initially the flavor is full of walnut and other roasted nuts and malt. there is also some slight tart and sweet maple sugar tartness. The maple syrup is very potent only when the beer is in your mouth. After it has gone down your throat there is an after taste of nuts that sticks on your palate for quite sometime. Overall it is an alright beer, it is kind of like a sour ale but a very weak one at that.
