Name – Autumn Maple
Country – United States
Type – Belgian Dark Strong Ale
Appearance – Poured a cloudy brownish red color with a nice sized tan head.
Smell – Maple syrup and molasses are apparent. You can get a yam like quality mixed in there with some spices.
Taste – Lovely sweetness from the maple, molasses and yams. There is some spices in there again and a slight bit of booziness as well.
I actually picked up a bottle of this last December in PA but didn’t get to drink it. It waited for me at my aunt’s house until this past June when I had it. It was so lovely. The spices were toned down a lot with the age then it has new and the molasses comes out a lot more with the age. As a brand new beer here it is still quite good. I recommend have one now. Have one for Thanksgiving and save another for the summer. You will love what it turns into with that 9 months or so on it.
Overall Grade – A

I’m dying to get my hands on one of these for the Fall – maybe put one away as you suggest too!

I love this beer. Sweet flavors without being too sweet, so luscious. Sorry for the pillow talk. Later.
