About This Beer
To craft this 10% ABV stunner, the brewers took their heavily awarded Qualified Quadrupel Ale and added real maple syrup to the brew. Then, they let it luxuriate in maple syrup barrels. Next, they spent countless hours aging, blending, tasting, and aging some more!
Tasting Notes
Take a sip, and discover bold currents of maple cascading into notes of toffee and treacly, golden caramel. Sumptuous flavors of chewy dates and dried plums rise on the end, inviting you back for another taste.

12oz can from Tavour. Dark brown, patchy, fine head. Sweet maple aroma. Taste also features the maple prominently, very sweet, woody malty. Boozy warmth late. You could pour this on your pancakes.

Whoa. On the same artistic level as pFriem's Smoked Maple Porter. The depth and balance of strong flavors is an experience. Definitely can tell the barrel aging vs pure sweetness of maple syrup.

Pleasantly surprised the maple barrel aging added positive complexity that I didn’t anticipate. Wonderful Belgium Quad with a twist.

If you like maple you will love this beer. The maple flavor isn't overwhelming, but it's definitely there. Not syrupy or cloyingly sweet.

Major maple syrup aromas with just a hint of oaky vanilla on the nose. Thick, rich, maple syrupy deliciousness with hints of charred oak and bourbon. Slight roasted malt bitterness and a sugary sweet finish. Taxman is doing some big things and I want more!

Toffee, vanilla brulee, and a woody maple finish. This is simply deliciois.

Does not disappoint with the maple flavor. Nice well rounded mix of flavors. Not too cloying sweet as can go wrong. Subtle bitter/boose in the background
Truly a Belgian quad with maple as advertised
I’d split one can with someone
Not a crusher, do so at your own risk

+1 on the tasting the difference between maple barrel aging and maple syrup, maple complexity with way less sweetness/boozy-ness. Not as sweet as I was worried it might be, quite drinkable in my opinion (especially compared to some of the pastry stouts out there)

It was like drinking maple syrup. Too sweet for my taste, but I could have guessed with an IBU of 28. Made me wish I had it with breakfast!

Very maple forward, in a nice way that really goes well with the quad style and malty notes. Has a bit of a pecan pie vibe, without the pecan flavor. Quite balanced and well done overall

There is nothing I hate more than pouring out a freshly opened beer, but holy shit, this is terrible. 100 percent undrinkable. It's like sipping Aunt Jemima straight from the bottle 🤢

Heavy maple syrup on the nose, complimented by that signature caramel sweetness on the palate. Despite the barrel aging, the ABV is not overwhelming, but can sneak up on you. It was a delicious evening
