Real maple syrup tastes great on pancakes and waffles, but it’s awfully good in beer too. Porter is a classic British ale style that traveled to the United States, sustained George Washington during the Revolution, and later built London’s great breweries. Mary’s Maple Porter is a rich, dark ale featuring a large portion of her maple syrup in the kettle. After fermentation by our house ale yeast, the syrup is no longer sweet (yeast likes to eat maple syrup too), but the maple flavor shows through in a complex interplay with caramel, chocolate, and cof fee flavors from our blend of roasted malts. An earthy hop note rounds it all out.

Sample @ Stockholm Beer & Whisky 2012. Pours hazy dark brown, almost black, with a small frothy beige head that leaves a small trace on the glass while quickly dissipating. Smell is sweet and malty with sweet dark bread, milk chocolate, toasted malts, maple syrup, wood, sweet liquorice candy and hints of acetone. Taste is sweet, tiny bitter and malty with sweet dark bread, lemon zest, wood, maple syrup, burnt cokkies, bitter chocolate, sweetened coffee and roasted malts. Mouthfeel is round, tiny astringent, tiny watery and light to medium bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with roasted malts, burnt caramel, maple syrup, wood, lemon zest and hints of hay. Nah...

Tap at the Half Pint, Manhattan - 01/3/12. Mid black in colouration - brown hues around edges with half a finger of light brown head. Roasted sweet malts, a little coffee, sweet aromas although I couldn’t pick out maple. Sweetish tasting stout, a little chocolate, tofee, buttery. Medium bodied, easy on the throat. Average porter.

Keg at White Horse. It pours opaque very dark brown, with a thin beige head. The nose is coffee, maple, metal, leather, roasted malt and liquorice. The taste is maple, liquorice, candyfloss, treacle, bubblegum, coffee, cola, roasted malt, charcoal and rubber. Medium body and fine carbonation. Very smooth and easy drinking. Solid stuff.

On tap. Pours black with a dark brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of sweet dark grains and maple with a bit of underlying roast. Flavor has a good amount of sweet dark grain with a growing maple note and backing roast.

Keg at the White Horse, Parsons Green, London. Pours black-brown with a sturdy, beige foam head. Burnt malt nose with hints of toffee. Medium sweet flavor with cocoa, hints of booze, caramel and rubber. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly alcoholic with toasty sugars, light roast, cocoa and dark cherries. Not bad. And I don’t think the condition was optimal in this instance. Would like to try again.

On tap at the Rake. Opaque black beer, little tan head. Smooth softish palate, creamy and a little dry. Very mild carbonation. Smooth dark malt. A little repressed red fruits and mild bubblegum. Finishes soft and dry. Overall quite a smooth and sweet beer.

tap at Dash In - Pours very dark brown and has a pleasant roast malt aroma. The flavor is very sweet with clear maple presence, roasted malt, and coffee. It’s medium to full bodied and overall a very good porter with a twist.

Draft. Deep mud brown color. Nice white head, good retention. Nose is kind of weak. But you can get light roasted notes. Taste is mostly maple and molasses. Traces of chocolate malt as it got real warm. Body is a bit thin. The sweetness hides the ABV nicely. Nothing that is going to make you tell all your buddies about but… it’s a respectable porter. No problem finishing the pint. Not top tier in any sense but still decent.

On tap at Akkurat during Brooklyn tap takeover, April 27, 2012. Reddish/brown with a small head. Aroma and taste of roasted malt, chocolate and something sweet, syrup? Not bad but a bit on the thin side.
