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 says maple syrup, but its aroma is more like molasses. I’m not really smelling maple. It’s appearance is dark brown amber, with a thin white head that falls to almost nothing. It’s flavor is nice maple, but probaly molasses adjuncts, not lots of malt body. It’s refreshing and smooth a nice light velvetyness.

The aroma has lightly toasted malt, nuts, and maple syrup with some coffee. The appearance is red brown with a tiny head. The flavor is bittersweet with only a little bit of maple syrup. The palate is thin. The aftertaste is like apricots. Overall it’s not bad but I was expecting a lot better.

Pours a clear copper brown with very light white head. Aroma is nut and malts with caramel notes. The flavor is very nutty with a light sweetness. Don’t perceive any hints of maple.

A good beer with a dark pour and foamy head. Has a odd smell and tastes almost chocolatey with a maple taste. Very thick with a toasted finish.
