Well Matt from the Wine & Beer Cave gave up his last twelve pack to me with a condition that I review it. Of course I will, that’s my ‘job’. This is the first year that Leine has offered this beer, at least to the public. The little head on it was disappointing, but I waited before making final judgment. A dark leather brown is the best way to describe the color of this one. The aroma is sweet like Canadian maple syrup. The taste is caramel malty goodness and no real hops taste to it. Fireside, this would be good, but almost too sweet for drinking a few in a row. That’s why I shared and brought some this past weekend to a family gathering. Try one of these out for your upcoming holiday parties!
