    Good call on the Better Half! I missed that one! Does Arctic Devil contain maple? I didn't think it did.

    I had was at a "rare" barrel tap take over and had the most recent Cobra and it was rough. Super roasty, bitter and boozy, with zero maple. It was only 4 oz and had other big beers so that could a reason. I had last years and really liked it. Anyways.....did the maple come though when you had it? I might have to pickup a bottle because I am hearing good things.

    I couldn't find that on the description but I could have sworn it does. It certainly tastes more maple syrupy than Berserker to me.

    Anyone know how sweet repute is holding up? I have a bottle that I bought in the summer of this year, and haven't cracked it yet. Came from the store's former beer manager's "secret cellar".

    Founders CBS comes to mind - I wanted to try this because of the reputation it had, and ended up loving how maple complimented all of the imperial stout flavors and nuances. Would love to find another bottle of this, and so should you if you get the opportunity, you will not be disappointed :slight_smile:

    Only BA Maple beer I've had was the Victory at Sea variant and I thought it was too sweet.

    Town Hall brewed a bourbon barrel aged bruin with maple syrup that is being released next week, which I'm really excited for!

    I opened my last one at Christmastime and it was undrinkable. Take it with a grain of salt as so many things could be the reason for that but just a heads up. Everyone at the tasting had the same reaction....... what the hell happend to it.

    Jackie O's BBBM, Funky Buddah MBCP and TG Morning Delight are three of the best beers I've had. Berserker, Lawson's Maple, BG&E all really great as well. Basically Maple in Beer is Awesome. Drink 'em all.

    Could anyone give me some names of beers brewed with maple syrup that aren't terribly hard to find?
    Never had one with maple syrup in it. Sounds heavenly.
