Tommyknocker Brewery's Maple Nut Brown

From the brewer:

ABV:  4.5%
IBU: 20
Hops:  Perle, Willamette

A flavorful brown ale brewed with a touch of pure maple syrup.  A delicate amount of Maple Syrup is added to each barrel of our award winning Maple Nut Brown Ale to impart a roasted sweetness. This addition balances the nut flavor produced by Munich, caramel and chocolate malts used in the brewhouse, producing a drinkable brown ale with a relatively low alcohol content.

Game On Brewing Company's Takedown Black Lager

From the brewer:

ABV: 6%

Don't be intimidated by the darkness.  Takedown this medium bodied brew and smell the espresso and chocolate in the nose, then taste the complex roasted malt body.  This smooth character will convert you to the dark side as the taste lingers on a while after you finish the beer.
