Sugar Shack Maple Stout
6.5% Milk Stout / Sweet Stout
Sugar Shack Maple Stout is a truly unique brew enhanced with maple syrup harvested at the Saint John’s Abbey Arboretum and Forest. These discerning monks have given us exclusive rights (yep, that means just us) to pair their notorious sweet blend with our perfectly crafted beer. This full bodied stout has subtle but distinct hints of roasted and specialty malts. Its dark appearance is a testament to its robust nature but it is delicately balanced with sweet and hoppy notes to produce a smooth, slightly creamy stout with an insatiable pleasant maple syrup flavor.

I first dranked this beer in 2019 while building my son's house. It's been in the back of his refrigerator ever since, even during his move into his new home. We pulled it out and said " let's drink this". Six years at 6.5% is scarey but it can't stay there forever. My daughter says "no way". Smart girl. So here goes.
Good size head, dark tan and fluffy. Smells of sweet maple. Taste is not rank! Yea! Thin texture, dry, really dry. Roasted malt, maple flavor, no alcohol. It's okay except that it has a sediment that is the result of age. Surprised that we did not pour it out. Still close to what it was years ago. Can't raise it's score but probably deserved better six years ago.

Very high, thick tan head. It's lasting. Not much aroma. Dark brown opaque color. Flavor is of crisp sweet Maple. Has a bit of a burnt flavor to it. Finish is mildly bitter, dry and brief. It's just okay, nothing special.

Not too shabby. Bought a 4 pack of 16 ounce cans at Aldi tonight for a little over $6 to have one to finish off the weekend. Not as strong a maple taste as I was ready for, but enough to get the flavor. Will definitely enjoy the rest some other time. Got my money's worth easily.
