Saranac's Maple Porter poured a very dark brown color with a thumb width, tan head. The aroma had lots of dark,
roasted malt, and hints of maple syrup. The body was smooth, and medium bodied for a porter. There were
chocolate and faint coffee notes up front with a light sweetness. The finish is a little bland, with the sweetness
lingering on the palate for a little bit. There were trace amounts of lace left hanging on the glass. Overall,
this is an interesting idea for a beer that is ultimatly a little dissapointing. Maple Porter starts out great
with the sweetness a great idea to balance out the dark malt. The beer falls off after the initial few sips as the
body thins out and the sweetness starts to become overwhelming. There needs to be a little bit more malt to counter
the sweetness.
