On tap at the brewery. Khaki head. Dark brown color. Some chocolate but not a lot of maple. Kind of bland and boring. Caramel malt. Light bodied. Just not for me.

Appearance - Pours a jet black with two fingers of mocha tan head.
Smell - earthy, leafy, and floral hops, cocoa, coffee bean, dark chocolate, roasted malts, hint of maple syrup, and earthy yeast.
Taste - earthy, leafy, and floral hops upfront. The cocoa, dark chocolate, and coffee bean make their presence known next. The maple syrup is there but acts as a supporting cast member rather than being too cloying. The roasted malts and earthy yeast round out the brew.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes smooth with the cocoa, dark chocolate, coffee, and maple syrup lingering.
Overall - A pleasant brew from the folks at Canmore Brewing. My only knock is that I wish the maple syrup was more pronounced in the taste but plays a great supporting cast member.

473ml can - as you can see in the picture, this offering had an unfortunate accident in the liquor store parking lot, but toughed it out.
This beer pours a pretty solid black, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy brown head, which leaves some decent Mercator map projection lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa powder, pancakes with maple syrup, faint cafe-au-lait, and some very understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hops. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, medium chocolate wafers, ethereal woody maple notes, day-old coffee grounds, a hint of licorice root spice, and more rather reserved earthy, herbal, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-satisfying frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with a lack of interlopers interfering with things at this point in the process. It finishes off-dry, the cocoa and malt showing some lingering legs.
Overall - this comes across as an amiable enough flavoured Porter, with the chocolate validating its leading titular status. Now that I think about it, given the time of year, this is probably the only thing in the house that contains chocolate. Neat.
