The Bruery - Autumn Maple

Brewed with 17 lbs. of yams per barrel (in other words, a lot of yams!), this autumn seasonal is a different take on the “pumpkin” beer style. Brewed with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, molasses, and maple syrup, and fermented with traditional Belgian yeast strain, this bold and spicy beer is perfect on a cold autumn evening.

The ABV is 10.0 and the IBU rating is 25
Style -Belgian Brown Ale
Glass to use- Snifter, Tulip, Goblet, Oversized Wine Glass
Delivery 750ml Bottle

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours a beautiful ruby color, and a bit cloudy due to the unfiltered brew.  Has a big cream head about 3" in my tulip glass which vanished after a few minutes.
Aroma - Sweet malty, hint of banana and a bit of orange.  Has the same aroma as the Unibroue brews, in particular the Maudite.  And the spices are in there as well.
Taste -  Malty and spicy and sweet.. For the maple, molasses, yams that are advertised, I did not get them but that's just me.  Others have noticed.
Mouth Feel - Well carbonation and kinda syrupy.  Goes down easy. Very smooth.
Drinkable - This is an excellent brew!  It's pretty close to a Barleywine IMHO.  The 10% alcohol does not show it self so be careful.  I will have to get a other bottle to age for a year or two.

This beer pair well with cheese and meats. I had it with cheese risotto.

This beer gets a Duper rating of A+.
BeerAdvocate Rating =B+
