About This Beer
pFriem calls Maple Barrel Aged Smoked Porter “a cozy delight to the senses, like eating pancakes in a Vermont cabin, while coffee brews on the wood fired stove” and we couldn’t agree more!
Tasting Notes
To craft this beauty, the crew began with eight different specialty malts, including chocolate malt, oats, and beechwood-smoked malt, giving it richly complex cocoa tones, whispers of campfire, and roasty coffee. They hopped it with Chinook for a mild bitterness hinting at a touch of pine resin. Finally, a snooze in maple syrup barrels infused the beer’s smooth body with woodsy toffee sweetness, nuances of vanilla, and subtle oaky tannins.
