OFallon Smoked Porter

Brewed by OFallon Brewery
Style: Smoked
OFallon, Missouri USA

Pours a very dark chestnut brown color that is almost black with slight mahogany edges when held to a light source and a one finger tan head that quickly settles into a thin ring. Not much in the way of lacing. Smokey aroma with lots of roasted malt. Hints of chocolate, toffee, coffee and faint hops. Very nice smokey flavor and medium body. Bittersweet dark chocolate, roasted coffee, burnt toast,toasted malt, caramel and toffee. Smooth with a silkiness up front that is followed by the prominent smokiness that lingers into a dry finish.

Pours Dark Brown with very thin tan head, aroma is smokey with hints of caramel and roasted almonds. Palate is very smooth and taste is smoky and toasty with slight sweet caramel hints. pretty good small town porter

Pours a brown color with thin tannish head. Aroma is of faint smoke, light caramel malt and light hops knows. Taste is of sweet malt, light smoke, bread, and faint grains. Palate has an odd tang to it. I was expecting more smoke and more depth to it, but it just seems off balanced. Not bad, but something I won’t be purchasing again.

Pours a deep dark brown touching on black. Aroma of smoke. Seriously smells like a Bar-B-Que. Smokey! Very intense smoke, not unlike a campfire, in the mouth. In the finish, smoke diminishes and toasted malt and molasses comes through. After allowing to set and warm in the glass, the smoke subsides and the molasses toasted malt flavors start to come through.

Bottle from theisti. This one somehow got in the back of the beer fridge. Poured directly @ cellar temp (~55). Nice cold evening to pull it out. Nose is, obviously, smoky, a little game sausage and dirty pine smoke. Initial taste is heavy smoke, with a little bacon and a nice sweetness reminiscient of root beer. Hiigh carbonation makes the finish a little prickly, like seltzer, but creates a nice crispness that offsets the heavy smoke. Just a little watery. As it warms a bit, some interesting tartness plays in the middle as well. Interesting beer. Thanks, Tim.

12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours a near black color with a small, quickly fading tan head. Good aroma of smoked wood, chocolate malt, toast, and dry smoked meat. I love smoked porters on the nose but they often can’t pull off a balanced flavor, and this is no different, as the smoke overwhelms the rest of the palate. The flavor is restrained by the somewhat light, watery, carbonated body. Some bite from the carbonation, a little sweetness. Dry, smoky finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours nearly black with a nice creamy tan head. Nice aroma of chocolate malt and smoked wood. Not as much of a meaty character as people say compared to the likes of shlenkerla’s beers, but still a nice bit of malt and toasty sweet nose. Flavor has some nice characteristics, I like the chocolate and the light not overbearing earthiness with the wood and smoke. It finished really quickly though, with very little roundness and oomph in the aftertaste. Medium light body, a bit watery and a soda like carbonation. Very disappointed with this beer.

Bottle pours dark brown with little to no head. Aroma is smoked meat. Flavor is smoke, beef jerky, bacon, and a bit of caramel sweetness. I love smoked beers and this one didn’t disappoint.
