3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
L’odeur d’érable est très invitante si tu aime le sucre. Mais la bière n’a pas grand chose d’autre à offrir. Elle est sirupeuse en bouche et l’érable est presqu’agressant, il ne laisse pas la place à grand chose d’autre. C’est un digestif interessant pour moi mes la plupart des invité n’ont pas aimé et il est hors de question que je passe à travers une bouteille seule alors... Intrigant mais je me vois mal en racheter.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep amber pour with very little carbonation. The aroma is quite bockish. Some heavy sweet malt and a touch of very light maple character. There is a touch of ethanol and some light dryness on the finish. A bit of cooling ethanol on the finish. Soft and clean and pretty decent.
3.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
[3814-20110708] 375mL bottle. Fragrant bread bakery with some smoky maple Danish pastries aroma. Clear, brown amber body with no lasting head. Boozy maple-tinted bread flavour. Great to sample, not suited for more. (9/3/6/3/13) 3.4-
Overheard: "Does it have legs? I’ll eat it!"

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle (375ml) shared with HogTownHarry, JoeMcPhee, jerc & mabel -- c/o HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy amber-brown with no head. Aroma is quite boozy along with maple syrup, wood, brown sugar and caramel malt. Flavour’s better in my opinion with maple syrup, caramel malt, brown sugar and a significant amount of alcohol in the dry finish. Syrupy mouthfeel. Medium to full bodied. Good not great.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
2011-07-08. Syrupy brown body, is headless but leaves nice legs on the glass. 3+ Sweet sugary aroma, modest alcohol, and hints at maple. Dry alcoholic finish, sweet sugary notes come back in the aftertaste. 7+ Smooth medium to full bodied palate with a modest alcohol burn. Decent, it gets to be a bit strong and a bit intense fairly quickly, but enjoyable in small quantities. Bottle shared by HogTownHarry
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Disappointing overall. Completely flat with heavy body, overpoweringly woody flavour with an acidic edge. I waited 8 months to open this bottle, perhaps it was too long.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Le liquide a une robe brune et lourde. On aperçoit sur le verre des traces de la haute teneur en alcool. Au nez, le malt est gras de sucre caramélisé et de tire d’érable. L’alcool est insidieux, bien caché dans les replis riches du malt et de ses saveurs ajoutées. Les saveurs sont étonnantes. Le caramel est chaud, presque en mélasse. Une liqueur d’érable arrose des pacanes grillées. Intéressant. En bouche, le liquide est extrêmement rond. La texture est liquoreuse et l’effervescence nulle. La finale se fait sur de généreuses notes de sirop d’érable chaudes et réconfortantes.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: APR 18, 2011 Échantillon au Broue Ha Ha. Couleur brun prune, pas de mousse, pas d’effervescence. Arôme de sirop d’érable et de fruits rouges mûrs. En bouche, épaisse et liquoreuse. Notes d’érables et de fruits confits. Petit goût de vin fortifié, sucré. Bonne mais on ne doit pas appeler ça de la bière...
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Has a smell of heavy candied barley syrup, maybe some maple syrup in there as well if you inhale really deeply. Pours with little head and a soft amber body. Flavour is a thick and muddy taste of wood, sugar, and maple syrup. The finish is cloying and sweet. As a barley wine it’s okay; but its flavour comes off as a bit messy.
