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.

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

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.

Bottled. Black. Aroma of roasted malt and raisin. Smokey(cigarette?) flavour with hints of maple. Somewhat syruoy mouthfeel. Dry ending.

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.

The last of Pete’s Brew I need to try, Hard to find, had it ordered special, Nice caramel and malt nose, rich and a little dry bitterness I like, a very decent beer.
