The Bruery Barrel Aged Autumn Maple
From TFP: One of my first experiences with The Bruery’s beer is Autumn Maple. My feelings were very indiferent, as the first bottle I had was like a pumpkin pie mixing with a barleywine. The second one had considerably less carbonation, and wasn’t very drinkable. Still, I liked the fact this beer was made with a metric ton of yams instead of the played out Pumpkin. This Beer, Barrel Aged Autumn Maple, was a gift given to me for my baby Kayla being born. This beer not only was bottled better, thus giving it more bubbles, it became way more complex after sitting in a barrel.
The Bruery – Barrel Aged Autumn Maple – 750 ml bottle poured into a goblet. 10% abv.
Appearance: Pours a dark brown with a soapy gathering of suds at the top. Leaves tons of lacing on my goblet.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Maple syrup, baked yams, caramel,molasses,bourbon. All throughout, lies a sturdy wood and herbal hop note with every sip.
Taste: Vanilla, wood, funky twang, maple syrup, candied yams, cinnamon spice and hop spice.
Mouthfeel: Very warm going from my mouth to my stomach. Low but perfect complimentary carbonation. Very thick.
Overall: I liked this better than the original 2008 batch. Very complex, enjoyable and inviting. The wood and bourbon notes play well with the aggressively sweet Autumn Maple.
