Petes Wicked Maple Porter

Old Undated notes: Brown and nice looking in my Sam Adams glass. Sweet and mapley with a lot of peppery notes and some earthiness.

I had this beer on a trip to the NE in 99(?) and it was ok. Malt and maple flavor are evident upon first taste. I think this was the first maple beer I ever tried. Overall it wasnt bad, just not quite great either.

Had this beer on 7/10/1998. Color is a deep dark brown, with low carbonation and very light head. Aroma is the sweet scent of Maple syrup. Taste is rich with a sharp bitterness. It starts with a good medium body that right from the start brings on a smoke taste with light back tones of maple starting as it goes down. All of this builds a little stronger in the finish, which is filled with a sharp bitterness. The smokey maple flavor is a little to strong for me but the rest of this is ok.

Very tasty. Sweet finish. full body with a nice dark brown colour. A bit of a malty taste.

Bottle bought in Massachusetts. Dark brown colour. Sweet aroma of raisins and well roasted malts. Flavour: smooth, sweet maple, quite a toasty maltiness, dryish finish. A great tasting different brewed porter, just so tastyindeed! Too bad its no longer brewed.

Pours deep brown, with strong maple syrup aroma. Tastes pretty good, with fairly realistic maple flavor, and a decent, fairly smooth finish.

Bottled. Black with some creamy head. Aroma from chocolate, coffee, raisins and a bit nutty. Rather full and fresh. Nutty and (cigarette)-smoky flavour.
