Rich, decadent, dark chocolate digestives and hob knobs with an upfront maple syrup hit. Maple Swoon is a special American Imperial Brown Ale, brewed with pale and chocolate malts, wheat, oats and crystal. You may be drinking the bourbon barrel-aged blend or the non barrel aged version when checking this in.

Keg at the Hanging Bat. Pours clear dark brown with a thin beige head. Aromas of maple syrup and dark fruits, some toffee. Good malt character on the taste. Well balanced flavours.

Can ordered from Tap Door on-line. Aroma is sweet and malty. Maple syrup. Bitter edge. Dark brown. Waxy. Thick foamy beige head. Flavourwise we have a bitter boozy streak, as to be expected from the barrel aging. This cuts through the sugary maple syrup. Underlying chunky malts. Light-medium bodied. Creamy if thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Nice enough but the booze somewhat obscures the other elements.
