Dark brown. Creamy head. Yeasty with a touch of sweetness on the nose. Very sweet. Lots of roast and chocolate. Piney hops and pretty good 2013 vintage

At the brewery, 2/7/14
Drab olive tinged brown body sports a light tan head, moderate retention.
Dusty chocolate and hints of roast fleck the nose. An interesting mix of sweet malt but with also a touch of light acidity from the hops. Brown sugar, light vanilla and a touch of citrus round out the nose on the end.
Caramel and a touch of sweet raisins make up the malt flavors, while the hops are certainly less pronounced here than in the IPA, but certainly still quite fresh and lightly acidic. Didnt know the abv at the time, but the 7 percent must stem somewhat from the maple syrup, as the body is still quite light and drinkable. Some more maple/brown sugar-like notes on the finish, with a bit of dryness from the darker malts and some bitterness from the hops. Well-structured, straightforward brown ale. Loose, lightly slick texture, medium carbonation.
