Deep dark brown coloured body with a slightly hazy but strong copper glowing tint with a thickish, two to three centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of maple, toasted grain, yeast, bread, allspice and a hint of canella with a large caramelised sugar scent as well and some earth as well, here. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong toasted malt component at first with a big earthy, musty and rustic quality but fades to a nice sweet, caramelised sugar and pitted fruit flavour that couples with the slight maple flavour well and provides a good complexity to the rich malt backbone. Aftertaste shows a lot of maple and malt flavours with a good rich qualities and some sweetness along with a good balance of caramelised sugars and pitted fruits on the finish. Overall, a very nice and incredibly balanced, but full-of-flavour and not overly cloying or sweet beer that has enough maple flavour but a crisp and earthy malt profile to make this great for the Fall season. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can given to me by my brother-in-law and sampled at his house in Monroe, Connecticut on 18-December-2021.

16 oz. can. Pours a clear, dark, ruby color, with a big, frothy, biege head. The nose is pine, caramel, rye, grenadine, light earth, and some maple. Sweet and malty, with a sticky, mediocre bitterness. Medium body, with a syrupy, hard palate. This is a reasonable amber ale, but not much maple.

Pours reddish brown with a thin white head. Aroma of sweet malt, earthy notes. Taste has rich malt, earthy, slightly ferrous. Palate has toasted nuts on the nose, slightest hint of sweetness. Good, very complex.

Draught @ City Hops. Clear pinkish amber with almost no head, boozy aroma, low carbonation, slightly sweet caramel taste with alcohol undertones, smooth body, long boozy finish. Somehow the maple flavor has gone and left this as mostly a boozy brew
