On tap at the brewery release on Black Friday. Served in a 8oz. snifter for $10.
Look- A murky lifeless flat brown with zero foam.
Smell- Sugary sweet candy, perfume and faint bourbon.
Taste- Pure sugar, more sugar, maybe some brown sugar, and a hint of bourbon when I came out of my diabetic coma.
Feel- Flat and super thin with a ultra dry feel from the sweetness.
Overall- If you love eating raw sugar, than this is the beer for you. The description states brewed with a blend of roasted malts and maple syrup in a four hour boil. Aged in Heaven Hill whiskey barrels. They must have used a tanker truck of Aunt Jemima because this is a one dimensional mess that leaves me scratching my head on what the hell they were tying to accomplish? This should have been dumped in my opinion. I'm grateful I just wasted 10 bucks on a pour instead of the $10 a bottle/$40 four packs. I could easily have rated this a straight one, but didn't want to come off as a troll review. Try it at your own risk.
