Sep 11, 2009 Updated: Oct 18, 2009On tap at The Yard House (West Palm, FL): I think this is the best porter I’ve had- and no surprise it’s from Stone. Chocolate, roasted malts, raisins, burnt marshmellow, rich toffee, smoky char lingers in the palatte... Perfectly balanced. Drinkability: Hells ya. Rebuy: :) #115 on 11092009, DG.

Sep 4, 2009 Let me start by saying I am not a big fan of Porters, but I am a fan of Stone Brewing Co. So I picked up the a bomber of Smoked Porter just to try it out.
And as usual Stone did not disappoint.
The beer poured a murky dark brown, with a smokey coffee aroma with just a hint of sweet malt.
Taste started with a sweet malt and a hint of heavy fruit, and was quickly taken over by the smoke and roasted malts. The finish was very clean and dry with the strong taste of roasted malts and hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel was good, and for a porter very drinkable.
For me one of the few porters I have truly enjoyed

Sep 2, 2009 22 oz bomber from Casanova. Medium thick pour, black in color. Smokey chocolate aroma. Thick mouthfeel, hints of chocolate with a smokey coffee flavor and a smooth finish. Very flavorful but surprisingly smooth.

Sep 1, 2009 On tap at the brewery after the tour. I have had this before but this one had more flavor. Dark black with a cocoa head. Smells smoky. This just tastes way too smoky for me, I wonder how they get the smoke flavor?? My cousin’s exact words were :"You can’t hide behind your IPA forever!". Needless to say the Stone employees did not take a liking to us. I bet this would be better with the chipotle peppers or vanilla beans to temper that smokiness.
