Year of New Beer: Sam Adams Maple Pecan Porter, Boston Beer Co. (MA)

Written By: Dion on 03/14/2013

Sweet maple syrup is certainly present on the nose, as is light toasted pecan and coffee bean. On the tongue, the maple sweetness dominates initially, but bitter chocolate and roasted coffee bean take over for the finish. Lesser notes of toasted bread crust and creamy vanilla. I had very low expectations for this beer but came away pleasantly surprised.
