Angela has a post over on Craftbeer.com on a cask ale they will be having next week during American Craft Beer Week. I hope I get a taste of this, it sounds amazing.

This cask ale blends our Brunette Nut Brown with CandyCap Mushrooms (L. rubidus for all you ‘Shroom Geeks’ out there, and you know who you are!).
Candy caps are strongly aromatic and are used primarily as a flavoring, much the way vanilla, saffron, or truffles are used. They impart a flavor and aroma to foods that has been compared to maple syrup or curry, but with a much stronger aroma than either of these seasonings.
You might recall, this past October we used Candy Cap mushrooms in our Pumpkin Ale ‘Mushroom Maniac’ Cask . In October we only created a ‘Pin’ of Mushroom Maniac (A Pin is a smaller cask, only 5gal), but we ran out of this as fast as we could pour it (Seriously!). This time we made a ‘Firkin’ of the CandyCap Brown and while the Firkin is twice the size, the Brunette is one of our most popular beers and when you add the ‘maple sugar-like’ flavor of the CandyCap, I cannot expect this one to stick around very long.
