Depot Street The Limited Maple Pecan Porter

Brewed by Depot Street Brewing
Style: Porter
Jonesborough, Tennessee USA

Thick foamy dark tan head over a dark brown body, red tints. Aroma is sweet, malty, chocolate, maple syrup, nutty. Taste is more sweetness, chocolate, caramel, fruity, syrup, maple sap, and a pecan nutty oilyness.

2 day old growler. Pours a deep red/black with a pretty good tan head. The aroma is maple up front with baking chocolate, nut shells, and thin coffee. Carbonation is fairly active and the mouthfeel is a bit thin, but that helps make the maple flavor not seem so syrupy. Maple is up front again on the tastebuds, but it is not overkill. In the mix I get nutshells, bitter chocolate, and a sweeter, chewy nut character as well. This is nothing exciting, but it is drinkable. I’m glad the maple flavor was not too overdone.
