Pursuit of Sappiness is a new take on our classic brown ale from recent years, with the addition of maple syrup. This beer comes out of the can as a chocolate brown elixir with a mocha tinted creamy head. As you pour it into your glass of choice you are met with aromas of caramel, toffee, brown sugar, chocolate, maple syrup and molasses. First taste impressions closely mimic the aromas, with flavors of deeply caramelized sugars, maple syrup, and chocolate. The beer finishes with a slight touch of warmth to accompany the full body with enough carbonation to prepare your palate for another sip.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown in the color and in the pour with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sly sweet earth, some toffee, sweet chocolate (somewhat milk-like, I think), light molasses and a touch of maple syrup
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet earthy to a sweet chocolate-y tone; finishes semi-sticky with the molasses and maple syrup
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but yes, this one got a bit sticky thus I must say yes this is cloying (maybe a bit too much maple syrup and molasses? yeah, I think so)
Overall: great aromas and flavors but try to smooth out that feel to make it so that this beer gets down my throat and not stuck to my tongue that would greatly be appreciated, Mayflower. Thanks.

Can (9/1/22) pour from Total Wine & More, Danvers. It's a turbid dark brown with red hue, light sparkle, 2-finger width frothy tan head with excellent retention and splotchy lacing. Aroma is strong earthy toffee. Taste is caramel malt and roast with slightly tart element. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, not getting many flavors here and no maple syrup! Weird tart feature. Did I get a bad one? Miss.
