Maple Deth
Revolution Brewing

 

 

Dark chocolate malty, a hint of maple syrup, and a bourbon barrel nose on this one! Taste follows with some chocolate and maple syrup upfront...and then a subdued bourbon barrel finish. I was pleasantly surprised that this has aged so well! Delicious!

 

draft pour into snifter. nice oily black with a finger of mocha brown foam. rich maple and chocolate on the nose with a subdued whiskey barrel character. little bit of oak and even some wet cardboard as it warms. taste is the most wonderful combination of maple, chocolate, bourbon, oak, earthy tobacco and even some vanilla. full mouthfeel - smooth and slick perhaps compliments of the maple. this is excellent. very happy to have finally tried this.

 

 

It is just over the threshold for sweetness for my taste, and I don't get as much bourbon as what I'd like, so a little bit of a markdown it the taste category, but this is still a very good beer.

 

 

Pours dark black. Aroma is a sweet combination maple and toffee with bourbon. Taste is very sweet -- maple, vanilla, sugary sweetness and bourbon. Mouthfeel is on the lighter side. Outstanding stout.

 

Glossy black with a fluffy tan head of moderate size, settling to a sparse film and thick collar.

Very sweet for a Revolution stout, toffee and maple are at the fore, pairing with surprisingly nutty and ashy oak that's even a little peaty. There's a hint of roasted malt presenting on first sip, particularly if you accompany it with an inhale, but the sweetness buries it.

The slick medium-light body has a fine tangy carbonation that comes to a sticky finish.

The peat and intense sweetness--which at times has weird hints of jelly beans and even PEEPs--are both way out of left field. These elements significantly detract from the can I was most excited for early on, but I don't know why I was. Maple beers very often let me down. At least the rest of this year's Deep Woods lineup exceeded expectations.

 

Slight artificial maple on the nose. Really opens up as it warms and smooth and silky mouthfeel. Enjoyed this alot more then i thought i would

Thanks to the nameless, faceless gentleman who shipped this to me after the release, a treasure trove of 12 oz. cans.

The pour is dark, distilled happiness with almost no visible carbonation. The nose is sweeter than a shot glass of caramelized sugar with maple syrup added. You like sweet? Here it is.

Maple Deth fell from the maple tree & hit every branch on the way down. Maple fills crevasses in my mouth & palate I didn’t know I had. Under the super maple is vanilla, smooth bourbon, semi-sweet chocolate. Silky smooth. The booze is only evident in my head, not in the mouth. I don’t know how much of this I could drink, but I’d like to find out.

This is a “wow” beer. So many maple beers are just sweet & you can’t even taste it. Not this. This is maple front & center deftly married with a barrel. Pure outstandingness.

 

12 oz. can. Black body. Smells of maple, bourbon, roasted malt. Tastes of maple, lots of sweetness, bourbon, some deep roasted malt behind it all. Mostly maple. Heavy and sweet. Intensely sweet. Maple overwhelms it. Too sweet.

Canned on 10/14/20; consumed on 2/18/21

Pours a clean, jet-black body capped with a finger and a half of delicate, dark khaki foam; solid head retention for a barrel-aged stout fades to a vague curtain of cap, a rich, creamy collar, and next to no lacing holding to the walls of the glass.

Aroma ooens with oak-tinged milk chocolate and smoked toffee as a more rounded hit of bourbon accentuates the front of the profile, saturated in oak before hints of herbal vanilla pod phase into caramelized maple, toasted coconut, and touches of barrel heat/spice on the back end of the bouquet.

Taste shows lavish, sleek notes of maple dominating upfront, followed by toasted brown bread and the burly sweetness of coconut cream over the mid-palate; caramelized sugar defines a deepening roast into the back end before surging with incresingly refined tones of burnt maple cookies, creme brûlée crust, and a distinct and focused charry roast; a lingering, barrel-imbued vanilla and toffee hold long past the finish.

Mouthfeel brings a medium-light body, slight though present, alongside a lightly fluffy carbonation, and imparting immediate impressions of subtle stickiness; slicker on the tongue toward the mid-palate, a weighty char evolves into a back end highlighting airy, slightly oily textures as they meet an oaky dryness and a distant sticky tone entrenched in the finish; minimal booziness and slight warmth wash over the palate.

Oily, fresh maple strikes in bursts to sufficiently allow the sturdy, roasty Revolution barrel-aged base to develop and thrive, with char evening out the spiking sweetness for a final product of defined and bittersweet, malty expression as consumable as it is concentrated and diverse.
