About This Beer

When it comes to crafting Pastry Stouts with BIG flavor and BOLD amounts of booze, the brewers at Austin Brothers do not mess around. They crafted their 15% ABV Maple Caramel Donut Stout with an entire grocery list of dessert ingredients: caramel candy bars, maple donuts, caramel chocolate ice cream, caramel syrup, chocolate syrup, maple syrup, cacao nibs, and vanilla beans! It’s like the ‘everything but the kitchen sink’, mile-high sundae you only dreamt of having a kid — with, well… lots and lots of booze.

Tasting Notes

Take a sip, and oodles of rich, dark chocolate flavors flutter with delectable pinches of maple bar and brown sugar. Touches of soothing vanilla effortlessly fuse with salted caramel soft-serve, until a satisfying bit of oven-roasted hazelnut flavor rounds out the satiny sip.

Very smooth. All the flavors were there and it wasn’t too overpowering in terms of flavor or alcohol taste. If you like all of the flavors in this stout I would definitely recommend it.

Not really sure where the maple or caramel or donut comes in. If it does, it’s pretty weak. An average boozy stout

objectively an okay stout. didn’t get any hint of maple or caramel in it. just tasted like a slightly below average stout.

Seriously disappointed. All the reviews I’ve seen and all that’s out into this beer I get nothing but boozy bitterness. Maybe I got a bad batch? 😞

15% that feels like 8% is the best compliment I can give it. It's good for a flight's worth. And it's not overly sweet, which is nice. You can taste the Caramel, maple, & vanilla hidden in the back of the palate

Not really maple, caramel, or donut enough for me. Just kind of meh.

Barely any flavors of maple, caramel or donut for it being so prominent on the label. It would be be a good standard barrel-aged imperial stout, but as an adjust/dessert stout, a huge swing and a miss. As a stout, I’d give it a 3.9, but as a dessert stout, it’s 2.

5.0

amazing the taste is sweet but not overwhelming the chocolate syrup flavor lingers on the tongue in good way and for 15 percent abv it doesn't burn at all it just gives you that nice warmth in the belly

good, but kinda plain on the flavor when u first take a drink. on the back end of palate I could finally taste the maple

All I can say is WOW!! this was literally a dessert. When I saw the bits of chocolate floating around in my stout mug, I was impressed. Can’t wait to try again.

I feel like the name doesn’t fit what I tried. was really expecting a pastry stout vibe and it wasn’t.

I’m usually a fan of high ABV stouts, this one doesn’t really have any favors that pop to the surface.

Very caramel forward. The ABV packs a healthy punch which is much appreciated. Nice and rich.

Yuck. This one was a total miss. Super bitter and literally none of the flavors that were advertised. Pretty much undrinkable.

Lots of caramel going on. Chocolate is more muted than expected. Nice maple finish.

initial taste is good, has a really weird aftertaste tho. Definitely expected more based on the description. Not a bad beer, just nothing special

maple syrup round rock donuts! anyone from austin tx knows this is grand! either way this is to good to not get a half dozen!

More caramel than maple in aroma and flavor. Lightly boozy and warming. Rich and robust. Medium bodied considering 15%. 🇺🇸🇮🇱
