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.

Bottled: a really really good porter. Pours a dark color with a tan froathy head. Smells of malts and chocolate. Tastes of light roasted malts with hints of chocolate and a dry finish. Good beer!

Poured from tap at the brewery a dark brown/black with medium sized tan head. Aroma is light with roast grain, coffee and a touch of peat. Flavor is a nicely blended combination of roasted grains, coffee, dark chocolate, soft smokiness, and some toasted hop notes. The palate has just a splash of sweet mixed into a mostly dry taste and very subtle hoppy and smoky notes. Overall, I found this beer enjoyable and incredibly easy to drink. Nice balance and interesting flavor.

I have to agree with the tagline on this one, in that the smoke is not the sole character of this beer, which is why I probably enjoyed this one.

Pours an espresso colored dark brown. Black and thick with a creamy head. Chocolate, cream, coffee, some hops, and a slight acidity. Creamy smooth chocolate and velvet caramel flavor rolls across my tongue and as it makes it’s way back it mellows into an elegant hopped coffee flavor. The palate is everything I’ve ever wanted from a porter. Smooth, full not to thick or sweet, but not to watery. The aftertaste is wonderful leaving me wanting more more more!

Bomber. Pours a very dark amber with a tick light tan head that laces to the bottom. Light aroma of chocolate, malt and smoke with some earth tones preasent. Flavor is were this beer is at with chocolate, coffee, wood, smoke, and roasted malts balancing from begining to finish. Med body, lively carb, creamy texture, and smooth dry feel. A very fine and interesting porter.

Bomber. Dark reddish brown pour with thick light tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate and light coffee. Flavor of roasted malts and chocolate with hints of coffee and smoke. Well balanced and smooth. Could have had several more glasses of this. Very nice porter.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 20 Sep 2008) Black colour with ruby hints, frothy pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with delicate notes of coffee and chocolate. Malty, roasted, slightly smokey taste with chocolate. Well balanced and smooth with a rather delicate smoke character. Very nice beer.
