Bomber from Discount Waukesha. Pours an inky black with a constanty bubbling off-tan head. Nice lacing. Love that super black look. Aroma is smoke. And more smoke. Meat smoke that eventually yields to a sweet chocolatey malty mix. Taste has a thick meat smokiness, with sweet chocolate, roasted malt, some caramel. Some alcohol presence. Finishes sweetly bitter and smoky, with some length; especially the smoky presence that lingers on and on. Personally for a "smoked" I would like a little more subtleness of the smoke, with a terrific flavor. This is subtly a very nice flavor hammered and almost overwhelmed by smoke.

It poured a black color with a heavy brown head. The aroma was of roasted barley, chocolate and smoke. The taste was strong and smokey with bitter chocolate notes in the finish. Awesome smoked porter.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks Ariel. Black with a beige-light brown head. Great smoky aroma with some meaty notes. Flavor has some malty sweetness with a bit of sausages and some roastiness. Medium-full-bodied. Nice.

The beer pours a dark brown color with a tan head. The aroma is full of chocolate and roasted malt, with a hint of meaty smoke. The smoke is fairly prominent in the flavor, but the sweet chocolate and roasted malt also come through. There is also a nice cream-like quality in the flavor. Medium to thick mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A very nice smoked beer.

Smoke, charred ham, bark on the nose. Dark brown, firm medium beige head, good lacing. Chocolate and charred meat flavor, very meaty and savory. Finishes with more of a coffee and charred oak note. Mouthfeel is thin although given the intensity of flavor, does not detract. Super good with liver and onions

very smokey, but a nice smoke character. there is a lot of astringent burnt malt in there as well, and the two flavors don’t really get along, in my opinion.

I do love me some smoked porter and this is a fine one. Smells like a slab of hickory smoked bacon. Taste leans more toward charred wood. Thank you sir, may I have another?

Bottle. Pours black with brown head. Nose/taste of BBQ pork, smoke, ash, smoked chocolate and black malts and hints of vanilla. Medium body. Dry smoke finish.

This is some great stuff. Black as midnight with a thin, tan head. The smoke is evident on both nose and palate. What really makes this special is the somewhat austere character of the smoke, but the balance brought around by the rich, lush mouthfeel. Like a savory coffee flavor.

On tap at The Hay Merchant. Pours a dark black with a creamy tan head leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is smoke and wood. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet roasted malt and smoke flavor with lingering dry finish. A very impressive smoke from Left Hand.
