Pete's Wicked Maple Porter

Beer score: 6.6
Web site: Pete's Wicked

This brew actually tastes like maple syrup, except it's bitter instead of sweet (if that makes sense to you). This brew is so thick it should almost be called a stout instead of a porter, which isn’t a bad thing in my opinion. It has a nice maple smell to it. As an aside on brewing history, in 2000 and 2001, Pete's Wicked changed its recipes for its beers, and I've not had a Pete's Wicked since before then, so my scores might well be different today. I've not heard good things about the newer versions of the Pete's Wicked brews, but I won't personally comment as I've yet to taste them. Once I do, my scores will be adjusted one way or the other.
