On draft at the brewery.

Pours a dark brown color with decent head and retention. Typical brown ale appearance.

Aromas are solid. Pecans and almonds up front; very nutty. There's a good amount of brown sugar and chocolate with a hint of vanilla cream.

So I get what they were trying to do with the flavor here, but did they want it to taste like it is hideously infected with diacetyl? Brown sugar, pecans, and so. So much butter. It's in the name ok fine but this is a bit much.

Feel is fine. Medium body and carbonation.

Overall, this is definitely a beer with aspirations it can't live up to. The aroma was pretty good until the flavor literally assaults your mouth with butter. Was barely able to choke this one down. Try it again.

Poured into a 16 oz Kettlehead Brewing Snulip glass canned on 12/21/2020. Pours a nice chestnut brown with a half finger light khaki head that leaves a few streaks of lace, ok retention. 3.75

Aroma maple, pecan, vanilla, brown sugar, and toffee. 4

Taste maple, pecan, brown sugar, toffee, and vanilla. 4

Mouthfeel is medium, not dry, low carbonation, and at 6.5% ABV it drinks easy enough. 3.75

Overall this is good, wanted more body and carbonation, but the flavors are really nice and won’t have any trouble drinking the four pack. 3.75
