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.

Bottle at Oliver Twist shared with Andreasen11 and plovmand. Pours brown with a tiny light brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, hops, coffee and a hint of smoke. Flavour is roasted malt and coffee with a hint of tar.

08/10/2009. Clean, smoky, sweet, roasty. Really good beer, made well, and in great condition but it doesn’t scream drink more of me. Maybe it’s a shade too sweet... like the young girl you flirted with in your early twenties but never bothered to properly chase down.

Large bottle. What can I say, Stone knows how to craft a fine beer. This is a very drinkable porter. Big taste without the big alcohol. Chewy sweet malt with just a hint of smoke that becomes more noticeable as it warms.

A dark brown to black beer with a fast disappearing head. The aroma is roasted like close to charred malt, with a dash of smoke. The taste is very smooth with a somewhat roasted taste with some tar & a very slight smokey aftertaste that is akin to an ashy taste. The first time I had this I did not detect any smoke taste but on the second try as it warmed up it was noticeable. Would be good to drink outside in the cold next to a fire.

The Stone Smoked Porter poured a translucent brown with an amber hue. The off-white head was massive due to a very heavy pour. A very evident lace was left as the head receded. The aroma was dominated by smoky malt. The taste was malty with a hint of spice and a smoky finish. For those of you who do not like smoked beers, be aware that as a smoked porter, there truly is not a lot of smokiness to this beer...for those of you love smoked beers you might be disappointed. The mouthfeel is mediocre, not as creamy as I would have liked but with a nice carbonation that makes the beer quite drinkable. All in all an enjoyable brew.

Had this at the Great Lakes Brew Fest. This porter was incredible, maybe one of the best porters I’ve ever had. The smokiness spreads out to the back of your throat in a coating manner. Very very good beer, wish I could drink more often.

Tap at the Saucer. Smoky, thick mouth feel. Nice coffee notes. Has the usual Stone punch.
