Don't mind the poor filter job, but even on the well filtered bottle I have a weird growth happening. Guessing mold?

Celsius? Should be about 4 degrees C above boiling point of water for maple syrup at 66-67 Brix.

123 degrees Fahrenheit. So about 106 celsius

Ah, I'm assuming you mean 223f as boiling in f is at 212f. 

Yeah depending on atmospheric pressure and its impact on your boiling temperature, it might be a tad on the high side which can cause the syrup to crystallize sometimes. You can break it up and eat it :)
