| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 19, 2009 Pours a dark mahogany with very little head. Aroma - definite maple & sweet caramel malt. Taste is sweet, maple syrup, honey, nutty, caramel & bread dough, maybe a hint of coffee. Body is thin w/ low carbonation. This has a decent flavor, but is almost sickinly sweet. Definitely couldn’t do more than one. Tastes like your eating pancakes with syrup & nuts. Again, decent flavor but too sweet, thin and flat.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 13, 2009 Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a whiskey snifter. The beer pours a deep brown with a just off-white head. The nose has a great combination of caramel and German character malts, along with some nice notes of maple syrup. The palate is certainly malt-forward, bringing a nice level of complexity and flavor. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this beer is its low abv. A whole lot of flavor packed into a relatively small amount of malt. The finish was sweet, but the carbonation allowed the beer to be easily drinkable and not cloying.
