Stone Smoked Porter

Dark red brown pour with a creamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malts but not overwhelmingly strong. Flavor of roasted malts and coffee with hops and just slight smoke at the finish.

Very nice porter with only a hint of smoke. That is good for me because I cannot stand smoked beers!

22oz bottle. Dark redish brown poue with an off-white head. Smokey, peaty aroma. Smooth flavor, light smokiness, not overwhelming. Decent.

Bottle. Pours a burnt brown with a nice 1 finger creamy, tan head. The aroma reminded me of the smell of your clothes after a night next to the campfire. The flavor, much to my surprise, was not dominated by the smokey notes but rather by the roasted malt character. There are hints of smooth chocolate and dark fruits as well.

Tap. Pours a deep almost black color with a medium-sized tan head. Aroma is dark malt, coffee, and a bit of a smoky characteristic. Taste is chocolate and coffee up front dissolving into a smooth aftertaste of hops, yeast, and smoke. Palate is rather dry and heavy. Very solid.

22oz - Aroma of chewy dark malts, chocolate, fresh hops and a touch of smoke. Pours deep mahogany with a huge fluffy light brown head and great lacing. Looks like a root beer float. Flavor matches aroma with the smoke coming out stronger in the finish. Palate is chewy and dry. Tasty but nothing special.

A - Pours a black in color, nice carbonation, nice small foamy tan head, very nice lacing afterwards. S - Scents of malts, toffee, caramel, and a slight roasted/smoked scent. T - The taste is of roasted/smoked toffee and sweet, nice clean finish. M - Medium body. D - Very drinkable. An awesome brew from Stone, a classic to the style. Highly recommended.

On tap at Brass Tap (Wesley Chapel, FL). Pours a dark brown almost black color with a creamy tan head. The smoke flavor is immediately noticeable from the aroma alone. Balanced flavor includes roasted malts to go along with smoke. Nice bitter finish too.
