I was told by an old timer who made 100's of gallons a year over wood it is from overheating while boiling. Sugar in solution burns even though it doesn't show. Severe overheating will darken color as well.
I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.

Black Walnut is similar to maple in sugar content and flavor. Of the several species of sap that I have made syrup from Birch is the only one that I can tell from maple but it doesn't run as much here and take 100 gl sap/ 1gl syrup.
