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.

Bomber - Pours a very dark black/brown in color with a small light tan head that faded to thin covering over the beer and around the rim of the glass. Lacing is significant and very nice. Aroma is faintly smokey with plenty of roasted malts, some chocolate and a small amount of coffee. Flavor is a bit more smokey with plenty of chocolate... I agree with the other BBQ comments... and with plenty of hop bitterness along with more than a fair amount of malty sweetness in the finish. Finish is lingering. I really liked this one...

Pours a deep brown into the glass with nice red highlights. There is a good tan head which gives some pretty nice lacing throughout. I smell a lot of chocolate with a spicy hop characteristic. I pick up on a very faint smoke, kind of the second hand smoke you’d get at a bbq. I pick up on the smoke much more in the flavor which provides a nice counter to the chocolaty sweetness of the malt. The light smokiness and chocolate/coffee flavors stay on the tongue well after the finish. Really nice brew.

not a huge fan of porters personally. this one does have a unique smoked flavor that is quite enjoyable. the bistro makes an outstanding smoked porter bbq sauce that i’m sure would be good on just about anything! yum

Black color......opaque. Thick, creamy head. Heavy malt aroma, with subtle hints of smoke. Somewhat of a smoky malt flavor up front......very smooth mouthfeel. Smoke flavor continues into the back, though mingled in with a slightly bitter taste......finish is long and bitter. Though quite tasty, this smoked porter is a tad thin, and a little too bitter.

22oz bottle: Pours very dark brown with an off-white head. Aroma of smoky,roasted malt, cocoa and slight hint of coffee. Nice smoked taste with some dark chocolate flavor gives it a subtle bitter finish. Surprisingly lighter body than I expected. I’ll probably try this one again.

About what I expected. Moderate roasted malt backbone with light smokiness. Moderate dark chocolate with some light coffee bean notes. Woody and somewhat earthy, a tad thin.
