Autumn Maple
750 ml bottle split and poured into a Bruery tulip. 10% ABV, no date. A - Hazy amber mahogany in color with a dense off-white head. Low retention with low lace left over. S - Heavy aroma of yams boiling, lots of Belgian spice with nutmeg, cinnamon, and classic esters of the Belgian yeast; dirt and white pepper. Not much maple syrup action here at all. The yams aren't very attractive in the aroma either. T - The yams are interesting with a very strong "funkiness" with some interesting Willamet-like grassy, earthy notes. No molasses or maple syrup really which is too bad. M - Dry and sharp on the finish with strong carbonation and a slightly acrid bitter finish. D - It's a sipper and it's interesting but it's a brew I'd really have to be in the mood for. The alcohol doesn't really show through at all which is really good but I'm not all that fond of it personally. Maybe after a year it could be awesome.
