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.

Bottle from a sampler. Dark brown pour with no head. Nutty maple aroma. Nutty maple taste. This really lives up to its name. If you’re not a fan of maple, you’ll find the taste a bit much, but if you love maple like me, this is pretty good.

Nice darkish pour like rootbeer or dark american lager. Mild carbonation and could use a little more. A slight annoying personality of maple syrup, but maple syrup is not my favorite pancake syrup. A little sticky at times. A bit cloying on the finish.

Sampled on draft at Fat Heads in Pgh Pa this beer poured a dark ruby-brown color with small khaki head with good lacing. The aroma was sweetish and lightly roasty and nutty. The flavor was bitter, tangy and roasty with a hint of maple and light fruity hops. The finish was dry, roasty and lightly hoppy. Better than average for a brown ale in my book.

Deep dark shades of brow with a ruby tint and a very thin tan head that tops the beer. Aroma of raisins, caramel malt, nuts and sweet toffee. Medium-bodied; Sweet taste of maple syrup, raisins and some other pit fruits with a very mild maltiness and no hops at all to speak of. Aftertaste shows no nuts, but a fair amount of sweetness. Overall, this one is very sweet and sort of off-balanced throughout. It’s worth trying if you like browns or sweeter beers, but otherwise - you could overlook this one and never question it. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 18-November-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

bottle - Pours dark brown with a two finger head. The light aroma is of sour malts. Odd. The flavor is malty and sour. I think it’s infected and I do see a few other reviewers mentioning the infection problem. There’s not much else here. It’s thin, watery, and sour. Not good. It’s nothing like some of the other reviews mention (chocolate, caramel, etc. Nope. Unpleasant, sour crap.). They put out an infected batch. The more I drink, the worse it gets. Terrible. I’m draining pouring the last bit.
