Transgressive Beers Maud
Maud presents a robust and evocative Winter Seasonal Beer experience, leaning into the warmth of its strength and American craft roots. The integration of toasted chestnuts provides a distinctive nutty depth, harmonizing with a rich caramel and toffee malt base. Infusions of bourbon and conditioning on wood chips lend a sophisticated layer of charred oak, vanilla, and spirited warmth, reminiscent of a refined holiday liqueur. Despite its intensity, the beer maintains a sober, balanced profile where the sweetness of the chestnut and the sharp spirit character of the bourbon create a complex, lingering finish perfectly suited for the coldest winter months.
Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark brown (28–35 SRM) with excellent clarity despite its dark hue. Pours with a thick, persistent tan head that leaves moderate lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity aroma featuring prominent notes of vanilla and oak from the bourbon and wood chips. A rich malt backbone provides scents of toasted bread and caramel, while the chestnuts contribute a unique, earthy nuttiness. Subtle dark fruit esters like plum or raisin are present, integrated with a smooth, supportive alcohol presence.
Taste. The initial impression is sweet and malty, immediately followed by the complex interplay of toasted chestnut and bourbon-soaked wood. Flavors of caramel, vanilla, and toasted nuts dominate the mid-palate. Hop bitterness is restrained but sufficient to balance the rich malt sugars. The finish is full and satisfyingly warm, with a lingering wood-derived dryness and a clean, spirited aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a pleasant malty chewiness. Carbonation is moderate, providing enough lift to prevent the beer from feeling heavy. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth coats the throat, complemented by a light tannic creaminess from the wood and chestnut additions.
