Pours dark brown with a reddish haze and a foamy light brown head. Aroma has notes of burnt leather, smoke, ash and roasted malts.

22oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma of freshly mowed hay, I was surprised by this, light roasted malts and black licorice. Taste is a nice balance of smoke and roasted malts. Medium to lighter body and medium carbonation, more than that of the Firestone Reserve Porter I had a couple of days ago.

Bottle. Pours a blackish color with an off whit head. Aroma is of roasted malt, smoke in the way of campfire burnt wood, subtle smoked meat notes, dark fruits, cocoa nibs, coffee and dark caramel. The flavor follows the nose, the smoke is again campfire notes, burnt wood, ash and burnt notes, and a faint trace of meaty flavors, along with cocoa nibs, coffee, dark caramel and some coffee notes. The body is medium with a dry mouth feel. Overall a pretty good smoked Porter!
