Bottle: Poured a medium amber color ale with a large foamy head with average retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of light maple syrup with a nice medium caramel malt base. Taste is a nice enough mix between some maple notes with balanced sweetness and a standard caramel malt backbone. Body is about average with OK carbonation. Nothing necessarily special about this one but still better then most maple based beers out there.

500ml Bottle brought home from the Halifax. Pours out a dark amber topped with a off-white head. Aroma was sweet maple syrup, brown sugar, and some vanilla. Taste was more of the sweetness with a light bitter end.

500mL bottle (listed at 11.3%), pours a beautiful dark ruby red with a medium beige head. Aroma of toffee, nuts, dark fruits (plum, raisin), light biscuity notes and subtle hops to balance. Flavour is quite alcoholic which overburdens the rest of the flavour profile, secondarily featuring caramel, dark fruits and quite an immensely cloying sweetness. 'Tis is a decent one, but the alcohol and ridiculous sweetness pull this down a notch from what it could be.

500mL bottle, pours a cloudy opaque dark amber orange with about an inch of head. Aroma is quite piney hop forward, with spruce, citrus, grapefruit and caramel malts to back. Flavour brings out piney and citrus hops, though it's harsh (not in bitterness but in flavour), with little malt backing - metallic notes on the finish along with the bitterness. Seems like it needs refining or something... It gets more and more offensive the more you drink. Quite poor, really.
