From a crowler, filled today, 4/23/20
Dark brown, with light , quickly-dissipating tan head. Some chestnut brown shows through when held to the light.
Smell is molasses, a slight nutty aroma, and maple. Not fresh maple syrup. The smell of maple syrup that has been cooked (but not burnt), as in well-done baked beans, or the pan drippings from a ham that was glazed with maple syrup. Maybe even slightly buttery. Appetizing & inviting. Even more so as it warms - then the maple becomes more prominent and the molasses less so.
Taste is surprisingly like the above-mentioned pan drippings, but less sweet. There is some cooked maple, a well-roasted savory flavor, a nutty/woody element, and a light cola-like tang, minus most of the cola flavor. Light pleasant bitterness , that intensifies a bit toward the end, & lingers.
Feel is light-side-of-medium, with light-moderate very,very fine carbonation tingle, that pleasantly burns the tip of the tongue at finish & beyond. That burn is curious, as it is so fine, that it feels more like a tightly-focused (mild)hot pepper burn , rather than from carbonation. It is by no means the viscous, sticky-sweet concoction that the aroma and the description would indicate.
Overall, enjoyable and easy-drinking. Surprisingly so, given the maple, and the concomitant aroma . Recommend giving it a try.
