Oct 6, 2008 Updated: Dec 15, 2008I 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.

Oct 5, 2008 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!

Oct 4, 2008 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.

Oct 2, 2008 Draught at Cole’s. Mainly opaque deep brown with red tint and thick white head. Mellow, barely smoked aroma. Nice malt but just a light touch of smoke. Great palate. Smooth, sweet entry and lingering sweetness with loads of peat. More scotch and peat than in your face smokiness. It’s no Alaskan but is really subtle and nice.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle pours opaque black with thin quick disipating white head. Aroma is malt and light smoke. First taste is sweet coffee and a little bit of smoke. The balance is nice and finish is slightly bitter coffee and light smoke linger. Really like that the smoke is not overpowering.

Sep 27, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a one finger brown head. Aroma of roasted malt and some smoke. Flavor had roasted malt, smoke and a bitter mocha finish. Slightly thin body for the style, but a good beer overall.
