Feb 21, 2009 A truly nice and dark smoked beer. Has hints of coffee, chocolate, nuts, and something sweet. This tastes really good for a smoked porter. Not too carbonated, and has a smooth nutty, coffee flavor. This is kind of similar to a light Old Rasputin. An unbelievable smoked flavor in the end. Makes me wish that it was warmer outside so that I can do some barbecuing.

Feb 19, 2009 Nose of caramel, chocolate and smoke, light roast and coffee. Deep chocolate, close to black but not quite there, off white and dissappating head. Medium body, little light on the palate. Smokiness in the flavor very subdued, caramel and light chocolate are in the forefront, with light molasses, coffee, toast, and hints of dried fruit esters. Finishes on the sweet rather than dry end.

Feb 17, 2009 22oz bomber. $4.99 at Total Wine. Dark brown Beer with a small tan head. Smoky malt aroma. Flavor is rich and full with roasty coffee, chocolate, and smoky dark malt. A bit of hops in the background. Low carbonation, just right. Smooth and creamy, full mouthfeel. A solid, if not spectacular porter.

Feb 16, 2009 Didn’t smell nor tast much if any smoke.
Not bad, but not flavorful or special

On tap at The Beechtree. Pours an almost jet black with a touch of crimson at the edges of the pint. Tanned head that vanishes rather quickly. Coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, but nothing more prominent than the smoke, which while strong, doesn’t overpower. Body is a little thinner than I’d like, but the luscious smoke more than makes up for it. Finishes with a light bitter.

Feb 16, 2009 Easily the meh-est smoked anything I’ve tasted. Very boring aroma, and only slightly smoky. Flavor was barely smoky at all. Hopefully got a poor one, and spent way too much on it : (

Feb 15, 2009 I heart smoked porters and this one is run of the mill, which is to say excellent. Not quite Smokestack Heritage, but that may be the difference in freshness. If you like smoked porters, you’ll like this one of course.

Feb 15, 2009 Tap in the Rake. Alround rating: Chocolate and coffee are the base, smokey burntess speeds up and burns you, some spicey bitterness tickles you later.
