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.

22oz bottle, purchased somewhere in Boston for $5. Consumed during the month of its best before date. Pours very dark with minimal head. Nice lacing though. All malt aroma of medium strength. The first sip gives an initial peppery sensation. The peppery sensation remains throughout. Nice malty flavours, with some coffee tastes thrown in the mix.

Bottle from some liquor store in Rehoboth Beach DE. Pours deep brown with a nice light beige head that dissipates to a retentive ring. The aroma is very nice, smoky peat, dark roasted malts, nutshells, and cocoa powder. Medium bodied with average carbonation. This beer has nicely balanced flavors of smoke, dark chocolate, tobacco, and coffee. Just enough bitterness to keep this in balanced, with average attenuation. Finish has a slight milky flavor. I need to kick my own ass for waiting so long to try this. Great beer, and I don’t like smoke beers. I bet this would kick ass on cask.

Deep brown red pour with a large tannish thick head. Smoke and metalic nose. Taste of smoke and coffee, quite light in palate.

first you can smell the aroma of smoke,and more smoke, the frothy, head sits atop a black,as night lake of beer but i was suprised this was very light in body,soft and creamy,with little to soft carbonation, and left a long finish, of a smoky fireplace behind i had this beer with smoked mozzarella and salami.

Almost pitch black pour with a foamy light brown head. Aromas are light chocolate and toasted malts. Flavor is very smooth and a bit creamy. Roasted malts, chocolate and a hint of coffee. This actually reminds me of a a beer in the realm of a dry stout. Nice beer.

Cask at GBBF 08. Very dark brown with a ruby tint. Lots of peat on the otherwise chocolately malt nose. In the mouth, the beer is oily and smooth with vinous flavours and evident alcohol but not too much smokiness. A robust beer that I was surprised is ’just’ 5.9%.

The malts and hops are both delicate and light. Taste of light body coffee with a touch of a smoked chocolate. This is much milder in taste than in aroma. Would work in harmony with grilled fish. Enjoyed from a snifter.

22 ounce bottle from kegbear. Thanks. Pours almost black with a small frothy head. Aroma isn’t too strong, a bit of dark chocolate and smoke. The taste is much lighter than I have come to expect from smoked beers. Thinner than I had thought but still very tasty. Would buy again and would love to have with a meal. It seems like it would go with a heavy feast. Lovely
