Rated April 2017. Poured up at Ratebeer Best 2017 Beer Fest where it exhibits a deep mahogany colored body that supports virtually no head at all. A swirl of the beer to bring up some bubbles shows how well this coats and nearly stains the glass. The aroma offers up rich nearly intense spicy maple with sort of residual sugars and a slight molasses in the background. Dang. The taste delivers rich roasted malt, dark roasted coffee, sweet molasses and kind of chocolate nuanced spicy maple… wow! It heads into the finish with lingering sweetened maple spiciness and some soft dark roasted coffee. If you’re into maple beer then this beer is for you.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold colored body that supports a full white head of foam. The aroma offers up soft thin malty lightly sweet bread and then flows into spicy to herbal to a bit of lemon like hoppiness. The taste delivers thin modestly sweet malts that have a wafer thin edge of bread to it struggling under the thumb of spicy to citrus grapefruit like bitter hoppiness. Solid. It ends fairly crisp with a faint echo of biscuit like malts. Wow. A proper Kölsch. Yes.

Rated Dec. 2020. Pint can pours with a murky opaque dull gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up tangerine, cantaloupe, honeydew and a bit of banana flavored bubble gum. The taste delivers similar notes with a brief hit of tangy juicy tangerine followed quickly by sweet tropical cantaloupe and mango. To midway a distracting sweet banana sensation intercedes and mildly disrupts the experience and leaves it on the sweet side.

(canned 20241023 and rated 20241130, 5+ weeks old) 12oz can pours with a crystal clear copper colored body that has thin golden hues and supports a full dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up pine hops, grapefruit, grapefruit rind, tangerine and then a sense of the maltiness in the background. The taste delivers a blend of sweet malts and tangy citrus initially creating a fairly pleasing experience. To midway it picks up mild pine hops and at the other end of the hop spectrum a bit of soft mango and pineapple like hop flavors. It does lean on the sweeter side and would benefit with far more bitter hoppiness. Pretty nice but the sweetness does become distracting.

Rated June 2021. Pint can pours with a deep dark hot fudgy chocolate colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up loads of sweetened dark roasted coffee followed by dark chocolate blended with highly roasted malts to nearly burnt maltiness. The taste delivers rich smooth near velvety chocolate and malt sweetened dark roasted coffee. It then moves toward increasing levels of dark roasted malts that flow into mildly burnt malts into the finish. This is a nice smooth rich balanced sipper that has just enough depth and richness to nearly completely mask the large ABV. Solid.
