A traditional brown ale fermented with Westmalle yeast mildly hopped with American hop varieties. An addition of dark local maple syrup from Uihlein Farms is added to the brite tank before carbonation.

Reviewed from notes.
On tap at the brewpub.
Appearance: dark brown color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave barely any lace
Aroma: some caramel/toffee malts, candied dark fruits, Belgian chocolate,, sweet wafers, earthy hops
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas fairly nicely into a mild sweet aspect; soft aftertaste of Belgian chocolates and dark fruits
Texture: medium bodied, good as a sipper; slow moving smoothness on the tongue - seems like it wants to be cloying but somehow kicks in gear and ends up getting to where it needs to; finishes dark fruity, earth hoppy and sweet wafery
Overall: there's something that seems like it's supposed to be good with this beer, I feel like it needs a little bit of tweaking here and there and I think I'd be willing to come back to.
