COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This beer should have a dark reddish brown color. The aroma should be balanced between malty and smoky. The flavor should be chocolaty, toasty, roasty, and smoky. There should be a definite hop bitterness, but the hop aroma should be overshadowed by malt and smoke. The beer should finish with some bitterness and a bit of smoke.

On tap at CBW. Decent beer but can’t match top beers like the Alaskan smoked. Dark brown body with an unusually white head. Aroma and flavor are nice and smokey but little in the way of complexity. Good if you’re looking for just a nice smokey brew but could use some more malt character.

Pours dark brown/black color with nice medium amount of froathy offwhite head. Aroma is a bit smokey, earthy, bittersweet chocolate. Flavor has nice smokey character but not overpowering. Light, yet not watery. Overall, enjoyable.

On tap at the Church Brew Works. Dark opaque ruby brown. Aroma is faint molasses and smoke. Flavor is super smokey without much complexity. I couldn’t finish this beer.

a dark smokey porter. A little hefty and overly roasted. A decent drinking beer.

A nice seasonal porter. Rather dark but not overly so with an aftertaste of smoke. A nice beer but all the church brew’s beers are good.
