Commercial Description:
SMP is a Smoked Baltic Porter.
Sixpoint SMP is unique creation from a place like no other in the world - Brooklyn. In our neighborhood, a classic industrial sector, we are constantly reminded of the manufacturing and industry that made Brooklyn famous. I wanted to make a unique beer that combined all of the unique traditions of my favorite beer style... Porter. Like the Baltic countries of Europe, our company resides close to the ocean. And like the industrial revolution in England, Brooklyn is home to the industry of the world’s capital. It was only fitting, therefore, for me to create a unique beer altogether, the Smoked Baltic Porter. Our Smoked Baltic Porter is our most complex beer. The aroma is entirely unique, mostly due to our generous addition of dry hops in the conditioning tank. Beneath the aroma of hops is the flavor of toffee, chocolate, and a slight sharpness from the patent malt. For the discerning enthusiast, note the subtle smoky notes beneath it all... The beer is full-bodied and chewy, hoppy throughout, and finishes with a slight burnt nuttiness from the dark malts. Despite its robust complexity, the beer is very drinkable for its size and strength.

This is my favorite one out the four sixpoint products I’ve tried - cloudy and nearly black - frothy, capuccino-like head - aroma is nutty, with notes of plum, brown sugar - barely any smoke in the aroma or flavor, but that’s alright ’cause this sucker is tasty - robust, chewy chocolate and caramel malts - just a slight roastiness, but nothing I would call smokey - gimme some more!

Draught at Jimmy’s No. 43, NYC. Deep almost-black with a tan head. Excellent aroma of dark malt, coffee and smoke. Similar notes in the flavour, along with a bit of toffeeish sweetness. Very nice, full mouthfeel. Awesome!

On tap at the Liberty Heights Tap Room, Redhook, Brooklyn, NY. Blacked hued porter having a long lasting off-white head and good lacing. No discernable carbonation. Fresh sweet smelling malt aroma. Medium bodied that starts with creamy sweet malt roastiness, toffee, and coffee and finishes with lingering bitterness. Well-balanced malt and hops. An excellent delicious porter.

Pitchy opaque. Big dark brown head. Chocolate cake dough aroma. Like a black forest cake in a glass. Chocolate, walnuts, cherry. Dry esters and some banana peel. Super. If you’re looking for off-the-beaten-path beers, make sure you track down a Sixpoint.

Tap NY. dark brown, tan head. Roasty aroma. Big malty roasty flavor. Nice hoppy/roasty finish. This would be a nice drinking pint.
