Can from Pennsport. Near black pour, small scant head. Aroma is maple syrup, a bit of cinnamon. Taste brings more French toast flavors, but the porter base seems thin.

12 ounce can into pint glass; no can dating, but was released recently. Pours clear very dark reddish brown color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, caramel, milk chocolate, fudge, cream, brown sugar, and toasted brown bread; with light coffee, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, maple syrup, lactose/spices, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, caramel, milk chocolate, fudge, cream, brown sugar, and toasted brown bread; with light coffee, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal/roast bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, caramel, milk chocolate, fudge, cream, brown sugar, brown bread, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, maple syrup, lactose/spices, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Minimal dryness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and slightly silky/sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is an awesome spiced American porter! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, maple syrup, lactose/spices, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. Great spice balance and very dessert-like for a porter; never overly sweet or roasty. Great mouthfeel from the lactose. A really enjoyable offering.

Such an intresting concept beer, and good! It has all the typical porter aspects id expect. It is a bit watery overall. Enjoying it with a fried plantain, and it is delicious! Maple distinct on the finish. 12 oz can.
