Review

If using a 12oz glass with good ice, after straining the cocktail into the glass, you should have sufficient room to top it with 60ml (2oz) of beer.

Little hit of hoppy ale up front (used my homebrewed bitter) followed by a vague fruit punch flavor. Second sip in and the maple (dark amber from VT) expresses itself. Overall quite fruity, with the bourbon giving a slight kiss of its character in the background. Too easy to slug back.

That was nice, once stirred a bit oO If not stirred, U ll get a lot of beer before anything else, which was not my point in trying this recipe. But after, it had a good balance, main taste would be orangey & bourbon. The size of Ur glass will definitely be important.
