Draft at Funky Taco. Dark brown, opaque pour, a few bubbles. Sweet aroma, chocolate, light savory notes. Taste is smooth, sweet, dark toasty malts, toffee, brown sugar and maple. Really tasty and not overly strong

 

 

Poured from cork and cage bottle into a pint glass. It pours a clear, dark cola with a thin, creamy, khaki-colored head and thin sheen of lacing. Its nose offers roasted malt, chocolate, maple syrup, toffee, and a whiff of dark fruit. The taste largely follows the nose but the maple syrup has faded a bit and the raisin, plum, and brown sugar are more prevalent. It has the taste characteristics of a Belgian Dark Strong Ale. The carbonation is lively but the mouth feel is rather thin. It drinks easily at 8% ABV. Overall, while I enjoyed the dark fruit I would prefer an ale that is creamier and with a more significant malt profile.

I do like brown ales but I was not a big fan of this one. The alcohol was pretty well hidden and it had a decent feel to it. The smell and the taste were over powering fig flavors. It tasted like someone dropped a bunch of Fig Newtons into the beer. Not my thing.

750 mL cork and cage bottle bought at the LCBO about a year ago; best before Sep 23 2021, so I missed it by about a month - oh well. Served slightly chilled.

Pours dark but translucent; its body is a brownish-mahogany cherry cola colour, capped with less than a finger of smooth, beige-coloured head that dissipates within a minute or two. A modest collar of creamy froth is the only remnant of note - there's no lacing, and only a few wisps on the surface otherwise. It's not all that aromatic, either - hints of dark chocolate, raisin, plum, and herbs, with relatively underwhelming suggestions of maple syrup. Faint whiff of ethanol, too.

Not bad at all, and pretty unique - it kind of comes off as a hybrid of a Belgian dark ale and an American brown. Dark fruits such as raisin, plum and fig all come to mind, with notes of dark chocolate, molasses and cherry developing by mid-sip. A touch herbal towards the back end, with roasted malts, vanilla and a hint of coffee before the maple syrup - which really pops right at the beginning of the finish and lingers into a spicy, herbal, moderately sweet aftertaste; boozy warmth and burnt sugar are the last sensations to fade. Full in body, with moderately low carbonation levels and very fine bubbles that gently tickle the surface of the palate; feels smooth and satisfying to sip. The 8% is reasonably well hidden, endowing this imperial brown with fair drinkability.

Final Grade: 4.04, an A-. My Watch Has Ended didn't blow me away or anything, but it's not as if the finale of this beer series was a total disappointment. (*cough*). It's understated in certain ways - the roasted qualities, for instance, and the maple syrup/fenugreek are also on the subtle side IMO - but the sweeter malt and dark fruit-type flavours are robust, dominating much of the sip. It's a mixed bag, but on the whole I really liked this one. Worth cracking soon if you've got one in the cellar, or if you're lucky enough to find a random leftover bottle for sale.

 

 

 

Tall bottle, caged and corked, and w/o dating info that I can readily find.

Pours all dark and brown ale like, moderate darker cap, goes to a thicker film and low sheeting.

Milk chocolate sniff.

Tasty brown ale, with lots of milk chocolate, molasses, maple, caramel, nuts...delicious and smooth as it crosses through the mouth...nicely done

Pours a solid brown color with ruby highlights. There is a cream colored head that settled into a small ring.

The aroma is of toasted brown bread. Big maple syrup drizzle. Hazelnuts. Sweet but very nice.

The taste is of brown bread, toasted. Prunes and dark dried cherries. Hazelnuts. A bit acrid in the finish.

Moderate feel with fizzy carbonation. Sweet on the palate with dark fruit syrup. Not cloying though. There is a bitterness in the finish that keeps things in check.

An interesting brown ale. Haven't had a beefy brown ale in years. Good dark fruity notes, dessert like but not heavy.

 

decent brown, but packs a bit of a bunch.

This one was a little different for me. Must have been the taste of the fenugreek because in the background it reminded me of an old gruit.

The taste has a musty, herbal character up front with maple syrup sweetness and dark fruit-mostly plum/fig in the mild bitter lingering finish.

Look: Black with a thick fluffy mocca colored head

Aroma: roasted malts, caramel, dark fruits

Flavor: sweet and roasted malts, burned sugar, caramel, plum, and maple syrup, fairly sweet

Body/Overall: medium body, velvety, soft, smooth

 

 

 

A cola colored dark carmel liquid with little carbonation is provided in a pint glass from a tap pour. Very little head, very little lacing and just a little sweet malt aroma accompany the experience. The taste is on the sweet side, which should be expected. The maple inclusion is subdued, but the fenugreek is a bit distracting. The effort can be appreciated, but the result isn't outstanding.

 

 

One of my few Game of Thrones beer. As much as I didn't care about the show, I didn't about the beer either.
But this was the last of the series and it was on a selloff. So here I go.
Pours and smells like a trappist beer, though no head retention.
The taste is heavy on plum, not really on maple syrup as stated. No idea what fenugreek is, so I can't pinpoint its taste. Leaves sticky lips (guess that's the syrup) and boozy aftertaste.
Not bad, like a weak attempt at a Belgian beer. Good enough.

 

 

 

Like the description says it pours a deep mahogany with a thinner light beige head atop,a nice rich hue.Maple butter aromas with a slight burnt note,to me like a maple creme brulee with a torched top.Maple and dark brown sugar really come out on the palate,again it has some burnt qualities to it as well,it dryes out some in the finish with some earth and wood.A little thin for a beer with such richness of flavor but man it's flavor packed and very interesting.Really ejoyed this one.

 

 

 

750ml (1pt 9.4oz) bottle purchased from Jungle Jim's.
Dark brown, almost black color. Thin khaki head. As you pour you already notice a boozy smell and see nice fine carbonation. Smelling syrup and molasses. Taste follows the nose. Very much molasses/liquorice taste.
Medium body, well carbonated. I enjoyed it!

A- Dark like molasses and opaque, minimal head and dissipates quickly.

S- maple and molasses.

F- maple syrup and dark candied malts

M- creamy and sticky but goes down smooth

O- a great beer, give me another

750ml bottle. $3.99 bargain bin. Poured out a clear, dark brown color with a small, light brown head of foam. It smelled of maple syrup, toffee and roasted malt. Sweet chocolate, maple, caramel, toffee and a subtle bitterness. Not sure if I tasted fenugreek but I'm not sure I know what it is anyway.

 

Yes, the beers I haven’t had on the shelves are getting thin, & this one has maple syrup on it, so I bought it. If one hugged me, I’ll probably buy that one, too. Corked & caged 750ML split with the wife.

The pour is dark-ish. Not much of a head, but as I stare wistfully into the glass, I see lots of tiny bubbles racing merrily up from the bottom. The nose is coarse black bread drizzled with syrup. Odd.

My Watch Has Ended is a clashing, roaring contradiction of flavors. The base beer itself seems like it didn’t do enough squats, & is ninth grader thin. The primary taste is must, like slightly moldered grains, with a touch of maple syrup, herbal mint, slight toffee. A small taster of this would have been plenty.

The other GoT beer I had sucked. This one doesn’t quite reach those depths but it isn’t good. Sub-par.
