Apr 25, 2006 Clear brown. Small, creamy, light tan head. Nose: toasty malt, brown sugar, maple syrup, prunes, and some cola. Flavor: same with some nuts. Cola aftertaste. Medium/light, balanced body. Drinkable, not bad.

Apr 20, 2006 Murky brown body with some ruby highlights and a very small ring of a head. The aroma is a huge amount of caramel, I mean an unholy amount od caramel. Almost no nutty roasted malt aroma as one might exepct with a brown ale. No maple to be found either. The flavor is slightly less caramel with some evidence of nuttiness and maple syrup. Too sweet. Palate is thin and slimy. Not very good IMO.

Mar 14, 2006 Bottle-The pouris a dark ruby/brownish color with higher than average carbonation. The head quickly disappears to leave a slight maple aroma that is mostly overrun by a nutty, malty smell. The taste was way more roasted than sweet, the maple only appearing in the middle sip, but never lasting through the sip. The palate had a touch of syrupy feel to it.

Mar 13, 2006 Sept. 05 bottle courtesy of Degarth: Pours a dark amber mahogany with a light-lacing light tan head. Sweet, sugary maple aroma has a hint of noble hops. Body starts with a light, mild dark sweetness and some nutty notes through a very thin, watery body. The finish is almost non-existent. All the flavor sort of wafts away about half-way through the sip. There’s nothing here off-flavor-wise, but it’s just very thin and bland for a brown ale.

Feb 27, 2006 The color was brown but did not have any head. You could smell the maple syrup. It had a thick taste and very good flavor. Nice finish.

Feb 25, 2006 Watery, thin palate is the downfall of this brown. There are occasional bursts of flavor: too-sweet maple syrup and dry coffee/toast, but the beer is in large part flavorless. Gingery, syrupy, grainy aromas are more interesting, but not enough to save the day.
