Dec 29, 2008 Pours clear dark brown, with a medium beige head, good lacing. Smells of apple, toffee and chocolate. Medium, velvety crisp body. Sweet and malty, with toffee, coco and apple. Well balanced with a mild bitter woody pine and slightly smoky aftertaste.

Dec 26, 2008 Another great one from Stone. Not as much smoke as I expected but the coffee and chocolate played well with the more subtle smoke. While I never thought I would say this about a Stone beer it almost strikes me as delicate. Absolutely delicious.

Dec 24, 2008 Apologetically dissapointed. I was expecting bliss here. The aroma was faint and the smokiness was fainter. I hope over-refrigeration was not the culprit. The flavors were present but so mild it was difficult to finish.

Dec 22, 2008 bottle. small khaki fizzy head (quickly and fully dissapating) into clear dark brown body with minimal lacing. aromas of smoke (mild but prevelant throughout), light chocolate, some hops, and coffee. flavors is initially lighltly bitter and finishes bittersweet. long finish duration. slightly dry mouthfeel. lively carbonation. pretty damn good porter.

Dec 21, 2008 This is one of the best Porters I‘ve had, which isn’t too surprising considering who brews it. Pours a very nice dark color with amber highlights, moderate tan head, and a little bit of lacing. This is slick and smooth to drink with chocolate, creamy coffee, a little bit of smoke, with some bitter hops showing in the finish. A nice drink we have here. Porters are far from my favorite style but I’ll be getting this one again.

Dec 21, 2008 POURS A DARK RICH COLOR WITH A CREAMY HEAD. YOU CAN TASTE THE COFFEE MALTS WITH A SLIGHTLY SMOKED TASTE. I NORMALLY DO NOT LIKE SMOKED BEERS BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY AN EXCEPTION.

Dec 21, 2008 Bottle from Utobeer. Dark brown with an off white head. Very well balanced porter with less smoke and acsertivness than I expected.. Flavours developed as I drunk more and beer warmed up. Very good.
