Mary's Maple Porter @ Capone's

Hidden deep in the magical list of draft offerings today at Capone's is a non hop blast from Brooklyn Brewery, Mary's Maple Porter. It's made with 100% New York State maple syrup. This might be the perfect shift from an afternoon of high hop delight.

(From Brooklyn Brewery website)
Mary’s Maple Porter is a rich, dark ale featuring a large portion of her (Mary Wiles) 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 coffee flavors from our blend of roasted malts. An earthy hop note rounds it all out.
