Bottle - Bitter chocolate, peat, berries and alcohol. Jet black with a huge foamy off white head. Chocolate, slight bitterness and of course the smoke with the berries in there as well. There is a backend sweetness that is subtle and balanced. I love smoked beers and this one although milder with the peat is pretty amazing.

Bouteille achetée au Vermont de 660ml partagée avec Patrick. Bière brune avec des reflets rouges qui a une mousse de couleur beige. Le nez est frais, les effluves discrets de chocolat fumé et de caramel sont intéressants. La bouche est trop facile, elle se boit tout seule. C’est frais. La texture est moyenne légère. C’est un porter très agréable. Le côté fumé est discret ce qui facilite la digestibilité de cette bière. Des petites notes de café en final agrémentent le tout.

Une grosse bouteille partagée avec rodenbach99. Des parfums subtils de fumée qui vont et qui viennent à travers des malts chocolatés, caramélisés et justement torréfiés. Des saveurs de café et de caramel avec des signes chocolatés. Une fumée qui n’est jamais au-devant des choses maltées. Un corps qui n’est pas lourd avec son pétillement juste et équitable. Une texture huileuse et bien agréable. Une finale amère de grains foncés qui reste courte et bien propre. Une bière qui a fière allure, professionnellement exécutée, simple et très facile à boire.

It pours almost opaque black with ruby highlights; the head is beige and mousse-like. The aroma has notes of: dark chocolate, coffee, blackberry, and toast. The taste is light tart that finishes medium bitter; there are notes of: chocolate, coffee, dark berries, and charcoal. The palate is medium-light bodied, has medium carbonation, slight sticky, and a medium finish. Overall, it’s oddly un-smoked in profile for a "smoked" porter.

Had in a 22oz bottle at Monk’s Pub in downtown Chicago. Pours super thick, creamy tan head with great retention. Almost black, with aromas of chicory, campfire, peat, etc. Has some cocoa on the mouth, but left me wanting more of a smoke flavor and not just smell. Enjoyed but could have been better.

Keg at Euston Tap, 13th March 2013. Good smoked porter, not worthy of the price tag in London though. Still enjoyable and tasty
