    Nice brew

    I wanted to try making a dark beer other than a stout. A local craft brewing company makes a Maple Porter that is so popular that when it is released it sells out within hours. I made my own using 1 cup of dark amber syrup which is added one week into the fermenting process. The maple flavor in the beer itself is very subtle the aroma that comes from opening the bottle is intoxicating. If making a Maple Porter I would recommend either a Grade B syrup which is darker than the dark amber I used or a Maple Extract.

    A Crisp Porter with Great Body and Taste

    Brewed this up with molasses and dark brown sugar. I could not be more pleased with the result...a crisp porter with great body and taste. This kit is on the short list for my next purchase.

    Great beer

    This American Porter is the first beer that I brewed. I am very impressed. First that the brew kit (LBK) worked and second that it produced a very good beer. As a newbie I will stick to the extract refills and have already purchased three more. Good job Mr. Beer !
