Põhjala's Maplelicious from the Cellar Series is an ambitious dark ale at 11.5% ABV, matured in freshly emptied Vermont maple syrup barrels. This is maple done without restraint—the beer embraces the flavour fully. Smooth, sweet caramel malts form the foundation, over which elegant maple syrup and honeycomb-coated dark chocolate unfold. The finish is bittersweet, with light hop bitterness and lingering dark fruit notes.

Põhjala, based in Tallinn, Estonia, is known for blending heritage with boldness. The Cellar Series showcases their passion for deeper layers of rich, velvety complexity, made possible by aging in bourbon, cognac, sherry and tequila barrels. Maplelicious is a playful yet serious take on how American maple and dark brewing can converge.
