Maple Bacon Porter
Black Flag Brewing Company

 

This one pours a fairly dark brown color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.

This one smells like earthy maple, smoke, bacon, and bitter chocolate.

The thin body kind of tanks the beer here, as the flavors fall short a little bit. The maple is the best characteristic here, earthy and mildly sweet. The bacon and smoke type flavors are very mild, and the base is just basically uninteresting dark chocolate.

This is thin and watery, but fairly drinkable. I’d want it to be creamier.

This is a solid little attempt but it falls short.

This beer is pretty much as advertised: maple, dark roasted malt, bitter coffee, and hints of smokiness. Not sweet or cloying - almost too dry for my taste. A solid maple bacon porter at an approachable ABV.
