12 oz. bottle pours the exact color of maple syrup with a tinge of ruby red at the sides. Frothy head which quickly dissipates, leaving a delicate lacing. Aroma of toasted nuts. Sweet maple front palate with warm maple malty middle and slightly hoppy finish. Mild aftertaste, drinkable and would be especially nice as an autum ale paired with pumpkin, spice or squash dish and roasted turkey, duck or chicken.

Jul 15, 2008 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.

Jul 2, 2008 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.

Jun 23, 2008 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.
