Collaboration with Aditondack brewing so says the chalk board in the pub. Deep amber color, minimal head that rings the glass slightly. Mostly clean nose, slightly malty and hint of yeast. HOLY SMOKEY!!! Taste is like drinking a fireplace with roasted coffee. Grassyness is pleasant. Mouth is drying. I like the creativity shown and not something you can find often. Rated via BeerBuddy

Growler from Westmere Beverage. Pours dark red with a fluffy 2-finger tan head. Aromas of chocolate milk, leather, coffee, and caramel. The flavor is rich cocoa and chocolate milk, mocha, and a slight bitter cocoa finish; slightly earthy. [918]

Smoked Porter. A collaboration one off brew with Great Adirondack Brewing Company. Nice to see that Hutch (El Grande Brewmaster Officianal!) is working his magic with the brewery that he started with. Like moonlight on a pond at midnight in the glass. Carbonation comes from the depths. Nose of grass and dark malt. As UDBeernut states on that other website..HOLY SMOKEY! Nealy chewy. Medium to big bodied. Mouthfeel is full on smoke malt. Sweeter side of German rauch. Get it while you can.
