Back in mid April, maple syrup season started here in upstate NY. I visited an open house at a local sugaring farm and picked up a 1/2 gallon of extra dark maple syrup. I used it to make up a batch of maple wine.
I transferred it to secondary today (4/22) and tasted the gravity sample. Wow! Very good stuff. Tastes just like maple candy with only a hint of an alcohol bite to it. 14.7% abv and finished slightly dry at 0.998. The color is a nice amber, but still a little cloudy. Hoping it clears up with some aging. I think I will be making a larger batch when I can afford enough syrup.
