There is a Beer That Tastes Like Bacon and Maple Syrup!

$1:
If you’re bold enough to want to wrap your lips around this fatty, smokey brew, you’ll have to drop $13 a bottle or $156 for a case. The pricing may be a bit brutal, but that’s the cost of weird, small batch beers.
From The Maple Daily:
It generally tastes like a dirty, ashy smoked beer without any of the subtlety of the finer Bamberger rauchbiers. The maple syrup notes pop up now and again, but the smoke flavor, along with fatty hits of unwanted bacon, dominate.
Portland’s Willamette Week had a variety of opinions about the beer, but none of them were positive:
“Smells like a candied ash tray.”
“Well, it is what it’s advertised. But that doesn’t make it good.”
“I need a cigarette to get this taste out of my mouth.”
“If they wanted to make this taste like a bacon maple bar—the bacon isn’t particularly smokey, it’s the salt that stands out. So it misses the mark in addition to being a foul abomination.”

Or you could just add bacon and maple syrup to your own brand of beer, like I do.

Give me a fucking break, it's bad enough Burger King now has a bacon sundae....
$1:
The sweet and savoury dessert features the rich and creamy vanilla Burger King soft serve ice cream, drizzled with chocolate fudge, caramel and topped with bacon crumbles. The sundae is then completed with a thick-cut, hardwood smoked bacon garnish.
If I want bacon and maple syrup, I'll eat it, not drink it. What the Hell's the matter with French toast or pancakes with a side order of bacon? You want a beer....order one with your meal.....Kind of fuckin' reminds me of a beer milkshake.....thanks from me and the boys Doc.....

I like the Pepto-Bismol color of that bottle.

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw it... intentional irony?

I've had a couple chocolate stouts from Rogue brewery that were pretty good, but Bacon? Nnnnno thanks.

I love bacon but honestly, a bacon flavoured beer? Some things are meant to keep apart, this is one of them!

I could see a beer with a hint of maple to it, similar to those honey ales, but bacon? Ain't enough "W's" in ewwwwwwwwwwww to describe that.

Some thing tells me this craft beer will not be a big seller!

I all for beer that doesn't take like beer since beer tastes like sh*t anyway but um... no, I'll pass on this one.

Do they have a slice of bacon floating in the bottom like that worm in the bottle of tequila? You have to eat the bacon when the bottle is finished
I like the flavor of bacon and beer that why I have a beer with my bacon and eggs in the morning
Just kidding...Really

As others have noted, a beer with a hint of maple aftertaste(sans the sweetness) would be nice.

I'm old school and like my beer as is. No fruity, no meaty, no sweety.

Must be at least 10 micro-breweries in Québec that make a maple sirop beer.
