Maple-Kissed Wheat Porter is a medium-bodied porter that tastes amazingly smooth and velvety. The rich and creamy mouthfeel is a result of the wheat used in the brewing process. Local maple syrup gives this beer just a hint of palate-pleasing sweetness as well as a nice depth of flavor. We call this beer “maple-kissed” because we use just the right balance of maple syrup to impart a delicious flavor without the beer becoming sweet.

Pours a solid dark brown color that borders on black. Spirited level of carbonation provides a monstrous bubbly and creamy tan head that slowly recedes. Smells of caramel, chocolate, and brown sugar mostly, but also has a hint of spice and earth or ash in there as well. Taste is mildly spicy with a moderate maple and malt sweetness in there. I get a bit of caramel and chocolate in here, but the spice of the wheat malt always comes back to dry this up a bit. Medium body with a sweet creamy spicy mouthfeel. I honestly think this beer is a case of I put too much crap in my home brew. Its kind of tasty, but there are too many things going on that don’t compliment each other. The spice of the wheat is fighting with the sweetness of the maple. Is this a wheat? Is it a porter? Well its kind of both but it does neither very well.
