Breakfast for Beer?

I'll have two eggs, bacon, some toast and a bottle of Sam Adam's Maple Pecan Porter.  I won't lie, I wouldn't be mad if all I had for breakfast was the beer.  It smells like a stack of pecan pancakes covered in syrup. 

This beer is so good, if I bought a pint in a bar, I would pretend I hated it so I didn't have to share.  Then I would order bacon and drop little pieces in the beer.  You know it sounds delicious, and when you try this porter, you'll think of me and all of my wise suggestions.  When you just can't get enough of this mapley goodness, and you get a hangover the following morning, you'll want another still.  I dare say, it'll be bacon's new best friend.

This brew is a lighter bodied porter, which leaves room for a second or third. Usually, I'll drink a porter at a bar, or I'll have a couple from a mixed pack, but I would buy a 6-pack of this stuff. It's just sweet enough, but not too sweet, and you can taste the brilliantly paired pecan flavor.  It's actually made with Vermont maple syrup, which is probably why it makes me want it for breakfast.  The color is similar to that of maple syrup, too.  It's a dark brownish red color.

The cool thing about this porter is that it's actually part of the Spring Thaw Collection.  Normally porters are heavier, so I associate them with Fall and Winter, but the surprising light body of the beer makes it a great early Spring brew.
