On tap at the brew pub. Pours a deep brown with amber notes and no head. Aroma of maple, sweet malty notes, some chocolate, wood, vanilla and nuts. Flavor was a match of the aroma. A well done porter with a bunch of maple.

On tap at the brewpub enjoyed alfresco. Dark brown with a slim tan head. Nose of licorice and molasses. Medium light with moderate carb. Taste is tangy plum and chocolate with light molasses and just a touch of maple and walnut. Dries with some bitterness. Nicely balanced; good stuff.

Pours a deep dark brown, almost black with ruby almost violet highlights and a thin lasting tan head. Aroma is thcikly sweet with fruity esters- plums and raisin, with tons of sweet syrupy toasted and caramel malts- dark crystal and sharp with some toffee, molasses is heavy and osme maple syrup earthiness as well as some nice dark bitter chocolate. Flavor is a bit more porter like- and less sweet- with more bitter chocolate, some earhty and woodsy maple syrup-like, brown sugar alcohol burn in the end, and more fruitiness. Pretty good body- big and full- different for sure, but nice.

Dark brown color with a rather large beige head. Aroma of dry chocolate, caramel, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Flavor has a roastiness to it with lots of sweet malt - mostly semisweet chocolate and brown sugar. Good example of the style that was pretty tasty.
