Poured into a snifter. 4.0 A: Black color. Two and a half fingers of frothy tan lacing. Retention is pretty good given the ABV and a moderate amount of lacing is left. 4.5 S: So nice. The smoke is really potent. Smelling this is like sitting by a camp fire and eating bacon. Deep caramel notes with a light roast. Smoke is the main focus here and it’s done to perfection. 4.5 T: Smoke and bacon are the main culprits in the taste as well. Despite this, it’s as smooth a beer as I’ve ever had. Underneath there is a light supple roastiness, a good bit of caramel, and chocolate. The smoke is very well integrated with the base porter and the porter seems like a solid one. 4.5 M: Medium body. Good moderate carbonation. Nice creaminess to go with this. 5.0 D: Any of the nose, taste, and mouthfeel could have received a 5.0, so I’ll give it here instead. Really impressed with this beer. The smoke is done better than any other smoked beer I’ve ever had. Great job LH! Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 04-05-2012 02:47:26

Draft at Fermentation. Black pour with a creamy tan head that laces everywhere. Nose of chocolate malts, roastiness, coffee and nice smoke. Flavor has nice nice chocolate and roastiness with a great compliment of wood smoke. I really like this beer. The smoke is a very nice compliment, reminds me of a smoky salmon, and not over powering at all.

Not overly smokey or artificial tasting, this full bodied porter is still smooth and drinkable. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a pitch black, nice khaki head. Aromas of roasted malt, smoke, smoked pork, cocoa, dark chocolate, touch of caramel, burnt, wood and a touch of alcohol. Initial taste is smooth and creamy. Roasted malt like crazy, campfire, dark chocolate, cocoa, cream, slight alcohol burn, smoke smoke smoke. Mouthfeel is oily and a tad sticky. Overall its a decent beer, interesting to say the least. Worth a try if you can find it.

Aroma is smoked BBQ, almost like smoked pork. The flavor is malts, coffee, smoked wood chips and a mild acidity/sourness/tartness.

Pours dark, dark, dark brown with a large sudsy tan head. Smells of smoke, hints of chocolate, and roast. Taste is smoky, with a distinct roasted character and hints of sweetness. Full-bodied with a smooth texture and mild mouth-carbonation, Left Hand SmokeJumper finishes with a full smoked roundness.

22oz bottle. Black color, light brown head. Good lace. Nice dry texture, light carbonation. I can’t believe this is 9.8%... No alcohol taste, very easy to drink. Great smoke and dark chocolate aromas. Very tasty mix of savory and bitter sweet. Great smoked porter.

Black, with a tan head that fades to a ring. A touch of lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, smoke, coffee, and chocolate. The taste is rich coffee and chocolate with a nice amount of smoke. Medium-full bodied, a little dry. Nice. The smoke isn’t overdone, and it really isn’t even the dominant flavor in the beer.

Its a black, oily liquid in the glass. The head only arises upon swirling. The aroma ie like smoky beef jerky and the flavor is like smoked beer and beef. Delicicious esp. When you’re hungry. The real only reason this is any good though is because the finish is clean, bitter, and a little smoky but not goody, so it leaves you ready for the next sip. Good job rosy left hand fingers! Haha, LOL.

From the bottle it pours an opaque dark brown/black with a short lived tan head and no lacing present. The nose has a medium smoke smell. The taste was smoky and roasted malts. The mouthfeel was medium with a smooth finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
