Handwritten notes: The label says this beer is brewed with maple syrup. I guess that puts it ahead of Keith's dark in the "mini macro" dark beer race. This is a chocolaty porter without much fuss. It has less of the generic "dark beer" taste and more of a scotch ale quality, likely due to the maple syrup. Worth a shot, but don't buy more than one.
