I thought perhaps this would be very similar to Troeg’s Mad Elf. But the only similarity, to me, is the cherry flavor. The surrounding flavors are different different (the maple syrup flavor, the ‘aged’ flavor) & the level of sweetness is lighter.

Sweet but deep. Almost had a wine-like drink.

You can taste the bourbon and maple, heavy on the maple. Slightly sweeter than I expected, but smacks you in the face with flavor. Very good. Maybe more of a dessert beer though.

First one in a while. Good to see it back in circulation.

Bronze in color; medium bodied; hints of sweetness; subtle cherry flavor toward the finish; cannot detect the bourbon itself; a boarder line dessert beer; good with a lower alcohol (8%) than some; refreshing, but with more body than a typical fruit beer.

Wasn't sure what to expect. Pretty dang good. Sweetness is more malty than sugary fructose and has a nice cherry tinge. Reminds me of a Rye imperial ale I once had - which was outstanding.

Haven't had this one since 2018. Still really dig it. The cherry and maple compliment each other nicely with just a hint of barrel underneath. #SBCR34B31 #SBCR33B32 🤝🤝🤝

Bottled in 11.10.21. Light cherry flavor, mellow maple and bourbon barrel overtones are both present and not overpowering. Nicely balanced.

The cherry is strong with this one. The cherry, maple syrup, and bourbon mix together nicely. Light mouthfeel makes it excellent to quaff on the deck after a day of yard work.

Wauw wat is deze lekker! Het kersenbier krijgt volgens het etiket veel diepgang door het hout en dat proef je. Heerlijk die maple syrup wat het wrange van het zure bier haalt. Perfecte combi. En op de achtergrond nog twee toppers in huis gehaald.
