A delicate amount of Maple syrup is added to each barrel of our award winning Maple Nut Brown Ale to impart roasted sweetness. This addition balances the nut flavor produced by Munich caramel and chocolate malts used in the brewhouse, producing a drinkable dark amber ale with a relatively low alcohol content.

12oz maple. Creamy red brown, the color fits the style well. Mellow sweet toffee aroma. Maple syrup certainly comes across. Malty, nutty..a pretty decent Brown Ale. Easy and mellow, quite sessionable. Some distant sandy hop bitterness balances it out. A well executed Brown, quite enjoyable.

Bottle: Nice color is between auburn and amber, with a small beige head. Sweet aroma is instant after popping the cap. Maple is clearly evident, it reminds me of maple syrup and toast. Toffee and nuts. Tastes overtly sweet with maple and retains a malty backbone. Some toasty and nutty notes too. If you like maple syrup on your toast, dig in.

Greatly underrated beer. Pours brown, thin beige head. Aroma, lots of maple goodness, caramel malts. Flavor, easy to drink straight forward nut brown. Lots of maple, giving a nice caramel aspect with hints of roasted malts, coffee mix. Can’t get over the whole maple aspect. Smooth palate, plenty of caramel/maple. Tasty.

17th June 2008. Surprisingly sour and unsweet ale. Doesn’t taste of maple. Very drinkable if not as sophiticated as a Belgian sour.

This nut brown poured a deep brown colour with a smooth tan coloured head. To the nose there are scents of malt, maple, molassass and hopps. First taste is smooth but watery. Maple flavours very prodominant. Additional favours of malt and caramel. Finnish is sweet and maly with maple flavours lingering into the palate. Still too watery but not bad.

Location: A friend gave me a 12 oz bottle, I believe it was purchased at a Total Wine in NoVA...it came out of a 6 beer 12 bottle Tommyknocker sampler.

Aroma: Caramel, nuts, chocolate, a very sweet nose
Appearance: Nice brown color, slight red hue, thin off-white/brown head that dissipates quickly, slight lacing
Flavor: Sweet malts dominate the flavor, which is much like the nose
Palate: Lightish body, a little sticky
Overall Impression: Sure, its a bit thin, bit its not bad. I like what they are trying to do, but it could really use some additional character, as it just isn't quite there.
