Description:
Some of the greatest men on Earth did big things with wooden sticks in their hands. Theodore Roosevelt. Hank Aaron. Judge Judy. Gandolf. We made a beer for the the folks wielding sticks, risking splinters every time they swing a bat. Or cast a spell. Or do ninja stuff.
This red ale has the big malt backbone and creamy mouthfeel you’d expect from a red, but with a little something extra. It’s dry-hopped with the floral East Kent Golding hop, and aged on hard maple. None of that sissy soft maple your mom uses. (Description provided by company)

Comments
The servant has become the master
Monday Night Brewery’s Master Splinter is an Imperial Red Ale aged on hard maple. It pours a creamy reddish gold with a thick, dense head. The nose has a lot of hops with just a hint of sweetness from the maple. The flavor is a little bit more maple-heavy, but certainly not overly sweet. It’s balanced nicely with the hop bitterness. A full mouthfeel and high gravity round this beer out quite nicely. Monday Night has yet to disappoint me. They're easily the most consistent brewery in Atlanta.
