I am getting redy tho throw down a pumpkin ale and I have seen some recipes that use Maple Syrup....What are the benefits or negatives of this addition in the boil....obviously more fermentables...but will it help the flavor profile in any way??
 
Maple is a pretty subtle flavor, and with the spices going on I think you would have to use more than it would be worth. The simple sugars in it will dry out the beer, so consider upping the mash temp and/or crystal malt if you do want to use it.
