Poured from a bottle, appearance was murky brown with thin off-white head. Nose of sweet malts, oats, hints of maple syrup and a little woodsy. Maple syrup was noticeable on the finish, beer was very creamy and not as sticky as I thought it would be. I was really surprised how NOT over the top sweet it was for having maple syrup in it. I really liked it!

Draft at Eulogy. Big dark earthy flavors. Well blended. Some juicy red fruits hiding inside. Some burned grassy notes. Heavy bodied but a nice smooth finish. Mushrooms and black pepper. Thumbs up!

Bottle... Poured deep, brownish, mahogany with a tan head. Nose syrup, brown sugar, and worty malt. A very sweet brew. Hints of brown sugar, malt, wood, earthy tones, prune juice and other dark fruits. Borderline barleywine-ish, sweet malt and strong booziness.

341ml bottle from 2010 - had it fresh and found it to intense so wanted to wait. Almost clear faded brown with a light tan head that fades to completely nothing. Lots of maple that overwhelms at first but eventually, after about 25 minutes of breathing settles down; apples, spice, alcohol, oak, some barleywine notes. Low carbonation and body, definitely sweet, lingering maple and malt finish. Delicious.

Foamy light tan head. Murky brown body. Aroma of maple syrup poured over hot sourdough pancakes. Very sweet flavor like a soft rounded scotch ale. Bit of bitterness on the back end. Not one of my favorites from Dieu du Ciel.

Tap at BT. Deep brownish Red with a thick yellow cream colored head.
Nose is sweet and malty and fruity. Similar flavor, some banana, fruity esters. Alcohol very well controlled. Solid.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark brown ale with low carbonation and only a thin layer of foam. Fruity aroma and taste. Some caramel and dark fruits and alcohol warming at the end. For sure more balanced than the other beers from this brewer I had this week.

341 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy, orangeish brown with a beige-orange head. Smells like maple. Tastes sweet, like brown sugar. Slightly herbal bitter finish, with a touch of maple syrup. Maple remains after each gulp. Very good maple ale.
