Silver Morning
Maplewood Brewery & Distillery

16 ounce can, canned 11/06/23 stamped on the bottom of the can. Thanks to Brutaltruth for this one! Served in a Teku, the beer pours a dark brown color with some ruby reddish tinges, along with about an inch or so light tan head. Head retention and lacing are both good. The brew smells like toffee, bready malt, caramel and some raisins. The taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also some brown sugar and earthy flavors noticeable too. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's coating and easy to drink with a moderate amount of carbonation. Thought this was a good overall brew, worth trying if you get the chance!

 

Fairly dark, reddish brown. Aroma of toasted bread and dark fruit. Taste is similar with a bit of toffee and brown sugar. A little hoppy for the style. Mouthfeel is a bit thinner than the typical doppelbock. I enjoyed the sweetness on the first beer but with the second it seemed a bit much.

On draft at Sycamore, Columbia, MO. Poured a dark, dark brown color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It left minimal lacing. It smelled of roasted malt, sweet toffee and caramel. Nice roasted malt taste with some bitterness. Toffee and caramel sweetness add balance.

Clear but very dark reddish amber color with a respectable and lasting tan head with some nice lacing.
The aroma is toasted malt, pumpernickel bread, raisins, caramel and brown sugar/molasses.
The taste is along the same lines with possibly a little more fruit - plums, black cherries as well as raisins, mildly sweet. The finish dries out with some herbal hops and a bit of white pepper.
The body is light/medium, decent level of carbonation, almost oily smooth and very drinkable. Altogether, this is a tasty and enjoyable brew, very nice, I would not mind having this again.

 

 

 

 

From the 16 oz can in a snifter. This nice doppel pours a nice
dark brown mahogany with a decent head of khaki foam that settles
to a thin ring, thin dusty layer, and sports some faint lacing. Nose
of toasted malts, brown sugars, dark bread, and subtle dark fruits.
Flavors hit the mark with dark breaded malts, toffee, brown sugars,
raisin, dark cherry, and nicely placed herbal hops. Mouthfeel
is medium, medium light carbonation, smooth, rich, lightly
warming, and finishing nicely balanced and subtly dry.

Overall, a very nice doppelbock

Cheers

 

16 oz can into a tulip. Dark reddish-purple-ruby tinged color with a foamy tan head. Bready malt nose with some dark stone fruit and brown sugar. Sweet dark malt carries through in the flavor complemented with some peppery bitterness. Medium-bodied; very smooth.

 

Canned 11/22/22; drank 1/4/23 @ the Yarchives.

Mostly see-through brown/purple appearance.

A rough pour yielded a big tan head; frothy, tree-rung lace.

Mild notes of cream soda & oak notes in the nose.

Brown sugar, root beer & faint mint flavors.

Light on the nose, but pretty flavorful on the palate. I'd have another!

 

Dark brown to amber in color with a fingernail of brown around the rim and covering three quarters of the top. The aroma is of caramel and dark malt. I’m tasting tasting caramel and toffee. The mouth is crisp and refreshing.

Dark reddish auburn, ruby glint in the light. Ample tan foam and lace. Aroma is mellow, light malt sweetness and roast, malt complexity and mild coffee. Smooth taste, malt forward, light roast and dark fruit, tiny hint of alcohol. Very mild peppery, earthy hop bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied, light carbonic bite, very smooth and round feel. No detectable spices, odd claim. Nice doppelbock, enjoyed it quite a bit.

 

 

I am trying this beer off the tapper at Rare Chophouse in Mount Vernon, Illinois. It poured a clear dark mahogany amber with off white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had rich dark bread malt notes with hints of dark chocolate. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with common bock malt base supported by chocolate and molasses flare. The creamy mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.
