Black Rooster Maple Products

     During my recent trip to Lake Placid we passed a little road side cabin with a "Handmade Maple Syrup" sign.  And I want it on record that for once, buying a sugary product wasn't initially my idea.
     It's a one room cabin with some sort of giant maple syrup machine inside.  There was one table with a bunch of maple syrup making/ bottling items and one table with product on display.  The owner was a super friendly guy who gave us a quick showing of what he does and gave us sample shots of warm, freshly bottled maple syrup.  Of course I bought a large bottle of the one we sampled (amber color, left).  I also bought a smaller bottle of another one he has on display (dark color, right).

     Now that I've tried both of them I can give them both a 10/10.  Are they snacks?  No, but they're pure sugar so I'm calling an audible.  I don't really know how to review maple syrup but they're both delicious and everyone in my car bought a bottle right after taking a shot of it.
     They also sold maple candies which I forced myself to buy.

This was pretty good.  It was sweet and had a bit of a crystalline consistency until it hit your tongue, when it started to melt.  It didn't taste like maple syrup but is still highly recommended.  9/10.
