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.

Brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, smoke, sweet malt and notes of hops. Taste in line with aroma plus a little chocolate. Smoke not overpowering, nice complement to the beer. Finishes Mildly bitter with a dry semi-hoppy finish.

Dudebra says this is disappointing and I’m not saying his wrong, aight? Full bodied, big smoke flavor, a good example of the style. However, I don’t look to stone for "a good example of the style", I look to stone for beers that blow my mind. This didn’t.

Bottle that was a few month’s past it’s enjoy by date. It poured black with a tan head that was gone within 2 minutes. It smelled like someone lit a campfire in the distance. I could really taste the smokiness.

From bottle in snifter. Pillowing and colored head quickly recedes towards the black liquid leaving intermediate lacing. Yeast aroma pervades with little else. Smokey flavor with a little metallic note. Smooth chocolate flavors throughout, sweet. Subtle complexity, good porter.

Bottle. Pours a deep dark amber-brown with a small creamy head. Big malty aroma, a bit sweet, with some smoke. Taste is more bitter, with smoke and meat, malt, and a hint of an alcohol bite. Great lingering malty bitterness. Very tasty porter.

22 oz bottle. Clear dark brown with some frothy tan haze. Nose is earthy grape and brown sugar with a faint sweet smokiness. Medium light with crisp carb; gets fuller with the finish. Taste is cocoa, coffee, greens and smoke. Solid but not very smoky.
