Dark leather brown with ruby highlights and a tan head that leaves cathedral lacing; deep maple with cocoa specks on the nose; toast, milk chocolate, a blast of maple syrup, specks of root beer and sultana, some woody notes, light pine to finish; slick, smooth, medium.

A looker, and a nose like dessert: honeycomb + marshmallow. The flavour starts out with some classic brown notes, but then gets crushed by eleven different types of sugar. Not without complexity, but the maple pretty much stomps on the base beer. Goes dry + hoppy at the end, but not enough.

Out of balance in favour of the maple, not for the better.

Side note: this is suspiciously similar to Crumbling Crowd from Oddity, which is contract brewed by Whiplash. FWIW.

just a short review here, but this is a damn nice brown ale, the malt flavours are gorgeous, rich chocolate, coffee, and the sweetness of the maple balances the beer wonderfully, along with a nice bit of bitterness on the finish, malty, sweet, lightly bitter, super drinkable, lacking just a touch in body, but otherwise an excellent brown ale.
