Commercial Description:
A rich, dark and delicious porter with chocolate and coffee overtones accented by a subtle smokiness from just the right amount of peat smoked malt. Unlike a rauchbier, the "smoke" in Stone Smoked Porter is an ELEMENT of the character rather than being THE character. -- Greg Koch, Stone Brewing Co.

Bottle. 22 oz. Pours deep brown with a thick, tan head. Aroma of peper, smoked almonds, chocolate, roasted malt, and cinnamon. Full body with an outrageously heavy, smooth, spicy finish. Absolutely fantastic porter. Highly recommended.

1 pint 6 oz. bottle. Pours black, light-brown head that diminished quickly. Aroma is somewhat fruitty with a malty background. Roasted and Toasty flavors mix well with the fruitty aroma. Flavor is dominated by a heavely bitter catch that’s lingering...Somewhat fizzy, and creamy...burnt, a burnt tang is present. Very Good.

Pint @ Taco Mac. Black with dark tan head. Robust, roasted profile with a nice smoky malt character. Deep and full-bodied with coffee and chocolate notes.

Bottle at Oliver Twist shared with Andreasen11 and plovmand. Pours brown with a tiny light brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, hops, coffee and a hint of smoke. Flavour is roasted malt and coffee with a hint of tar.

08/10/2009. Clean, smoky, sweet, roasty. Really good beer, made well, and in great condition but it doesn’t scream drink more of me. Maybe it’s a shade too sweet... like the young girl you flirted with in your early twenties but never bothered to properly chase down.

Large bottle. What can I say, Stone knows how to craft a fine beer. This is a very drinkable porter. Big taste without the big alcohol. Chewy sweet malt with just a hint of smoke that becomes more noticeable as it warms.

A dark brown to black beer with a fast disappearing head. The aroma is roasted like close to charred malt, with a dash of smoke. The taste is very smooth with a somewhat roasted taste with some tar & a very slight smokey aftertaste that is akin to an ashy taste. The first time I had this I did not detect any smoke taste but on the second try as it warmed up it was noticeable. Would be good to drink outside in the cold next to a fire.
