| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 14, 2009 Really enjoy this porter. Got a case right when they were released and I’m drinking the last one right now. Its hard for me to recall but I do think the brew has improved with its aging.
A smooth flavor with very little hop taste. Its got a light aroma and a great color. Pretty good mouthfeel to it. The smokey flavor is quite a joy in itself.
Would definitely recommend and I’ll hopefully be picking up some more soon. rwaters (27), Anchorage, Alaska, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 6, 2009 Top notch smoked porter, very famous for a reason... Black with a nice head, ok retention... Aroma is smoky, peaty, much like a campfire in smell and taste... Much more smoke than the Stone Smoked Porter, i like this better... Smoke makes beer better...

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 5, 2009 (2004 version) Deep, dark brown with a molasses underpinning. Nice smokiness jumps off the glasss. Redolent of sweet, Southern smokhouse with a roasty backdrop. Dominant smokey flavor. A hearty winter brew fit for cold nights and enjoying the outdoors or Alaskan wilderness. dzzz333 (21), Elkton, Maryland, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 4, 2009 enjoyed during the opening round of March Madness ’09. Deep dark brown body with a fluffy tan head and small web-like lacing, looks fantastic. Huge, agressive aroma of smoked, salted pork and campfire. Scents of crackers and tobacco add some depth. Malty and smokey with a light sweetness on the tongue. Medium to heavy bodied. Generous flavors of burnt wood, earthy peat and smoked meat. A bitter hop flavor comes forward and gives way to a mild chocolate aftertaste. I love a big smokey beer and this was better than I imagined it would be. Surprisingly drinkable for the style as well. Paired rather nicely with a slice of cheesecake topped with fresh strawberries."
