312/961)  Beer Academy:  Belgian Maple by Six Pints Specialty Brewing Company of Ontario:  **;  7.5%, 15 ibu;  it's the colour of maple syrup;  Belgian Maple features a combination of Belgian style yeast and maple syrup which makes this a sweet one;  maple syrup candy nose;  tastes of yeast, maple syrup and candi sugar with a bite of alcohol kicking in at the finish;

313/962)  beerbistro:  Porter by Sierra Nevada of California, U.S.A.: **;  6%;  grainy nose with grainy roasty coffee flavours;  it isn't bad but there are other porters I like more;  this was in a bottle;
