The Bruery Autumn Maple wasn't the nightcap I hoped for

Cleaned up the weekend's mess around the apartment and celebrated our 15 minutes of courage by drinking a highly anticipated brew and checking out highly anticipated pictures from the weekend (which I was ecstatic to view because I couldn't find my camera and thought I'd left it on an LA Metro bus. But cleaning out my room yielded the camera under my cookie monster shirt, score!)

There might have been some incriminating photos...

This is a very unique fall seasonal beer made with 17 lbs. of yams per barrel (crickies!) and brewed with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, molasses and maple syrup. It's not just seasonal; it's uber-seasonal and if your dentist knew you were drinking this beer he'd either have a heart attack or buy a boat.

Has a brown ale base. It tastes like a Belgian mixed with its advertised raw maple sweetness and punctuated by a sour finish. Wow. It's a mouthful, (that's what she said) and I felt overwhelmed. I had trouble finishing a full glass and secretly hoped I had a rare glass with a drinking problem, who would make the intense beer disappear. To provide some defense for Autumn Maple, Nick G really loves this beer and stands by it, but he's a wild man who makes Chuck Norris look like Johnny Appleseed. 

I love The Bruery but I feel like they're reaching with this Promethean concoction. For lacking a desire to finish the glass (but doing so because we have rules dammit), TRANSFORMERS 2 rating.
