Better Bitters Nickel Brook Maple Porter

Brewed by Better Bitters Brewing Co.
Style: Porter
Burlington, Canada

Bottle: Poured a clear dark color porter with a medium foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of maple and roasted malt are easily detectable. Taste is a strange mix between some lightly sweet maple notes with dry roasted malt. Body is a bit light for style with good carbonation and no signs of alcohol. Not bad overall but I am probably not the biggest fan of including maple in beer.

Another bottle from scrizz. What’s up with all these fucking weird ass beers? Canadians smoke crack. Some roasted notes, coffee, sweet maple is underneath. Murky cola pour. Beige head. dark malt, roasty, almost acrid. Light mapley sweetness underneath helps with the balance, but its still a little acrid to me. Sharp carbonation. Lingering dry roast.

12 oz. thanks, scrizzz! pours hazy ebony with caramel highlights. rich roasty nose, not much sweetness showing. creamy medium body with firm and well placed carb. roasty, sweet maple showing, but very faintly. mild finish.

12oz from token. Pale black color with light tan head. Nose is roast and sweet with some chocolate, tootsie roll style, and a bit of coffee. Really thin on the body. Metallic and roasty with some off tartness. Nose was much better than the actual taste.

12 oz bottle - thanks clint!! Clear, dark brown with foamy tan head; lovely roast nose with some chocolate and maple; nutty, fresh chocolate flavor with touch of maple and sweet finish; quite nice

On tap. Pours dark brown with thin head. Nose of maple big some hops. Taste of sweet maple syrup with roasted malts, taste of smoke, and molasses. Too sweet for my liking.

Deep red/amber. Head ran fast. Nose; chocolate, hazelnut, maple(of course), ganga? Mouth; smooth, mild carbonation. Taste; weak maple, very sweet start, mild bitterness. Must try on tap.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber/brown with a thin, quickly reduced tan head. Spotty lacing. Nose is maple, with weedy hops, very fruity/estery almost in a Belgian way; apples, fruit, pine, booze, mild roastiness and instant coffee. Finish is mild, with a very slight sour cherry character. Medium-bodied, a bit coarse, a bit soapy... not bad.
