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

A very average brown ale. Aroma was maple, nuts and roasted malt but as it warmed started taking on a fart-like smell. Wierd. Pour was a nice dark brown with a thin off white ring for a head. Taste was a little stale. Maple syrup definately is present as well as walnut, caramel and caramel malt. Almost tastes like burnt liquified Cracker Jacks. Drinkable at best.

This beer poured a dark brown color with nice lacing left around the glass. The aroma was of nuts and naturally a subtle hint of maple syrup. The flavor and body were very smooth with notes of toasted bread, barley, oatmeal and a slight bit of cream. The body is very sweet, and so is the finish and aftertaste. I didn’t taste a whole lot of the advertised maple syrup, so I was a little disappointed. But it’s still a bit better than most average brown ales.

Smells syrupy sweet. Very malty in the smell. Oatmeal cereal with milk smell. Dark brown body with bubbly thin cream head. Taste is very light and sweet. It tastes a little like maple but something else sweet there that I can’t quite place. Not bad but I couldn’t drink too much.

Pours a three finger cream head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Clear mahogany color. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Malty maple nose. Flavor is sweet maple smooth, hops balance but are in background. $1.80 for a 12oz bottle from Yankee Spirits South Attleboro, Ma.
