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: I’ve been sitting on this one for a while and I can’t remember who sent it to me, but thanks to whoever you were. Black pour with an off white head. Aroma, chocolate, coffee, and some nice smoke to it. Flavor, chocolate malts, some nice roasted character to it, and the underlying smokiness is just great. Really great beer.

2007 bottle. Pours black/dark brown with two finger head. Aroma of ash, smoke and roasted malts. Flavor is also smokey.. all bbq and charcoal. Medium to thick mouthfeel. Good smokey porter.

Bomber from Bottleworks. Deep black pour with a smallish head. Solid nose of chocolate, coffee, and smokehouse. Delicious flavors of super dark coffee and cocoa powder blend well with the meaty smoke notes. This is the least "meat" flavored smoke beer I’ve had, definitely the smoothest, and my favorite by a landslide. I really wish I could buy this locally as I’d love to keep some around and try aging.

2007 bottle from Liquid Solutions. Quite excellent. Good balance, rich and dark taste and complexion. This is one fine beer. Thumbs up!

2007 bottle from Chuck and Laura in WA. This is the first beer I’ve had from the Smoked genre. It very much reminded me of standing next to a charcoal BBQ and drinking a dark beer. The palate was surprisingly smooth and the flavors were distinct (chocolate and licorice). Very interesting brew.
