    I wish I had some pancakes or waffles to go with this beer. I love maple syrup so I knew I'd like this beer but damn!

    I have had a hard time getting maple flavor in beer, the yeast loves to just turn it into ABV. What is your secret?

    Let's talk about head. Some thick, heavy beers, which I feel like this qualifies as, are virtually flat. I always wish there was more foaminess to the head. Is there an art to getting good head producing carbonation in this style?

    How does Great Notion managed to maintain such a dominant maple flavor in their beers? This might be a brewing secret but I’ve always been curious because I love it.

    I would love to hear how a local actually feels instead of the Nebraska opinions I see on Facebook.

    I feel like I need an omelet to go with all these pancake notes! thanks for an awesome beer - how much maple is in here and what's the FG? The mouthfeel is so rich. Cheers

    You use a lot of maple. Where do you get it from?
