A brown ale with maple syrup, molasses and brown sugar. This smooth trifecta is accompanied by a high ABV. Its dark amber color comes from deep malted barley and molasses.

Taste: Nutty, sweet, roasted, maple, coffee, balanced, smooth finish. Roasted coffee beans and maple nose. Dark brown, semi clear, tan head, delicate lace. Medium body. Stronger ABV brown ale due to honey.

Had on tap. Tasted like a rural ale in that it was very rustic in the feel. Higher abv is not hidden well, but goes with the molasses, tobacco, maple, ginger and brown sugar. The smell is much sweeter, with focus on the brown sugar and maple. The body is thinner than expected, with a higher than normal for the style level of carbonation. Good if in the right mood

Pours a deep ruby red color with a small tan head. A bit noisy on the pour, sounds like I am pouring a soda. The head doesn't stay around very long, leaving some lcing across the top.
Bit sweet on the smell, in a good way. Caramel and toffee seem to be the main notes, hint of brown sugar as well.
Has a nice nutty sweetness to it. Caramel and toffee along with some maple syrup. There is some bitterness at the finish, along with a lingering nutty flavor.
Has a bit of a bite due to the high carbonation, otherwise nothing to complain about
Definitely a nice beer here. It's a bit high in the abv department, but very drinkable. Lot of flavor to it, sweet without being cloying, has a nice balance to it. This is my first beer from this brewery, and it makes me anxious to try more.

Aroma is nutty malts, caramel/toffee and mild maple syrup sweetness. The flavor is nutty/biscuit malts, fruit/berries and a mix of tart and dryish/medium sweetness.
