WFM sample. Aroma is sour, some peach and other fruitiness. Pours dark brown. Taste is a bit sweet.

A dark clear appearance. Flavor is a sweet and malty with noticeable alcohol. The kind of beer you eat instead of drink. Really nice.

Brownish color. Sweet carmel aroma. First and foremost taste is sweet. Lots of malt flavor, but too sweet for me.

creamy beige head, creamy smooth drinking beer, creamy caramel taste light malty and sweet and drinkable ill fuck with my corner store gypsys for a last minuit brew

Nice transparent brown with an off white head. Smells like fresh baked bread. My enjoyment stopped there. It feels thin in my mouth, and is a little sweet. Has a funky finish I can’t really describe. Maybe I got a bad batch.

Pours a dark caramel brown with foamy white head. A little alcohol and citrus in the nose compliments the readily apparent grain and molasses aromas. Really smooth and sweet flavor with hints of caramel and molasses. I agree with the previous assessments of distinct maple brown sugar notes. Slight bitterness in the end. Thick and syrupy with slight fizziness. Nice lacing.

Poured a translucent dark brown with copper hues with a foamy, lacing white head. Malty aroma could be sensed a foot away with grainy aromas up close. Flavor is heavy alcohol, maple, brown sugar and toffee. Heavy, syrupy mouthfeel, like a barley wine. Nice beer, but not a session brew.

A delicious, dark amber delight. Sweet with alcohol overtones, a beer you would sip to maximize enjoyment. Maple and chocolate overtones...best when allowed to warm up.
