    Wow - looks amazing! I had no idea that you could buy barrel-aged maple syrup.

    Not sure how Toppling Goliath's Mornin' Delight missed the list -- it is outstanding.

    I liked 75Min, but I didn't go into it expecting super maple flavor. I just took it at face value- a solid IPA, maybe a hint of the maple, something different about the body that I attributed to the syrup.

    I've only had a couple apparently (Hipster Brunch and 75Min). Hipster was fantastic and one of my favorites from Odd Side.

    75min leaves a bit to be desired (even if I have been a return customer).

    Lawson's makes a good amount of barrel-aged maple beers other than the one you posted up there- Sticky Ale. There are many barrel treatments of their Fayston Maple Imperial Stout, including:

    Rum BA
    Pappy Van Winkle BA
    Bourbon BA
    Maple Syrup Bourbon BA

    And to be a stickler for the rules, Mornin' Delight shouldn't be on the list, as it's not bourbon-barrel aged. However, Toppling Goliath Kentucky Brunch Brand Stout (KBBS) should be, as it's bourbon barrel aged with maple and coffee.

    Thanks for the info! I will post an update. I couldn't find anything about KBBS having maple added. It seems to just say "aged in whiskey barrels with coffee".

    Might as well add Bourbon County to the list. It ain't out yet, but Goose Island just posted a pic of maple barrels and "BCS Innovation" on the labels. So...I think we can just pencil that in for one of everyone's favorites as well.

    Sounds like maple is gonna be this year's Mexican hot chocolate.

    If you read the reviews for it, essentially every one points to a big maple presence.

    Founder's is quite good at using the maple bourbon barrels for sure. CBS and Sweet Repute have both been mentioned and I think Curmudgeon's Better Half deserves a mention. Definitely one of my favorite beers. Also Midnight Sun's Arctic Devil is another one. I liked it a lot more than Berserker too
