We took (Sawdust City Ol’ Woody Alt) and gave it a little bit more caramel base and a little bit more bready crustiness, and then we added the flavours that you find reminiscent of butter tarts. As it warms up, you’ll start to taste it like you’re biting into a butter tart, but it holds its own as a beer. It’s not overly cloying and sweet. We wanted people to enjoy it and not feel like they’ve just coated their teeth in sugar.

    The beer pours a translucent amber colour with a thin white ring for a head. The aroma is sweet caramel, cereal malt, weak maple notes, some yeast, and come herbal hops. The mouthfeel is weak to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is not as sweet as the aroma would suggest. Notes of caramel and maple, and hints of hops in the bitter finish. A little one dimensional but with calling it a ‘butter tart ale’, I think that is what they were going for.

    Dark copper pour. Head dissipates to a very thin cap and doesn't leave much lacing. I find it too sweet in the nose and the flavour. Sorry, just not a fan of maple syrup and this beer has not changed a thing.

    Packaged on FEB 10 2016, so pretty fresh. Pours a clean rich deep amber colour with a light beige frothy head, average stay and some good lacing all-around. Lots of maple, caramel and toffee in the sweet aromas. The taste is thankfully not as sweet, or rich on the tongue. Nice roasted, caramel malts with nuttiness, mild maple, hints of coffee and hops in the aftertaste. Not sure about the butter tarts, but the rest is quite well done and drinkable.
