New Glarus Unplugged Smoke on the Porter

Bottle. mmm..mmm this is some good shit! Aroma is nice, not too shy with the smoke and it really shines witt a spicy roast malt. Creamy light brown head that laces, opaque. Sweet and smokey with a dry malt finish with hints of smoke. Not BBQ in a glass but a nice balance of smoke with the sweet roast porter character. Full bodied and creamy. Excellent.

12oz bottle. Poured a deep and dark brown color with an off white head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, toffee and smoke (not over powering). Tastes of chocoalte, smoke roast, vanilla, and coffee.

thanks to cmubeerman for the bottle he left behind for me. this poured fast and light, very thin elegant pearl white head with a Slimer-looking film in the middle atop a pretty opaque black body. aroma is clearly smoked but with a fair amount of wood, beech i presume. my nose is a bit clogged, so it’s showing through pretty well. not as meaty as others. light bodied, clean, completely tolerable, mild smoky flavor, not meaty at all, excellent for the style. brilliant.

Pours a dark amber with a brief head and a pungent, meaty, smoked flavour. Thin, smoky a bit roasty, a bit watery and nothing much else. Good carbonation, good body, not a bad beer, but not particularly rich or complex. Thanks to Ughsmash for the secret-santa trade!

Talk about smoked. Tastes like Tom Waits’ vocal chords with some ham thrown in.
