Commercial Description:
The dark, robust body and pronounced smoky flavor of this limited edition beer make it an adventuresome taste experience. Alaskan Smoked Porter is produced in limited "vintages" each year and, unlike most beers, may be aged in the bottle, much like fine wine.

Bottle: Brown w/ a brown head. Wonderful smoky aroma, but that’s it for aroma. Flavor is very smoky w/ some roasted malt in the background. After some warming. Well...it tastes the same.

Bottle 2002 at Paul’s Hoboken Gathering: Deep brown pour with some amber in the light and a tan ring for head. Nose has a rich smoke presence. Meaty aroma with some peat and dark chocolate. Slightly watery feel. The flavor has a great blend of chocolate, smoked wood and roasted malts. The finish is long and smoke-filled. Nice stuff, and I’m surprised the Smokiness has held up for 6-years. I wanna try it fresh and perhaps give it a better score.

Bomber bottle...opague dark brown with a light brown sugar head...smoked gouda aroma--pungent....smoky smoky and good...only problem is not much else is showing through...I get some dark roasty malts...and a bitter coffee/toffee but it takes a minute to register....ok letting it warm up a bit....44 minutes later its basically the same, very overbearing in the smoke department, a bitterness(very mild)in the finish..this would be great with a smoked gouda and bologna and cheese sandwich...just in general...a food paring with this beer should be had...like a spoonful of red raspberry preserves...whoo hoo!

Bottle. Probably the best smoked porter i’ve had. Dark black pour. Flavor is chocolate, smoke, malt, bacon. Mmmm bring on the BBQ.
