dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA Mar 17, 2008 deep brown, almost black color, medium tan head, nice lacing. aroma of mild smoke, malt, coffee. flavor of unsweetened coffee, chocolate. full-bodied, with a lingering bitterenss, and finally leaving a sweet note in the finish. Johnroy (32), USA Mar 16, 2008 Pours black with a nice white head. Good flavor with a hints of dark roasted coffee and chocolate. Let this one warm up and more flavors start to pop up. Another fine beer from Stone gotbeach (128), San Diego, California, USA Mar 14, 2008 750ml bottle. Pours black with medium lasting tan head. Contains a slight smokey aroma. Good carb. Coffee, roasted malt, creamy with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Very drinkable, and great with food. HughConway (364), Alabama, USA Mar 12, 2008 Bottle. Black pour, thin light tan head with a few bubbles popping around that dissipates quickly. Not much of an aroma. Nice sweet taste with perhaps a hint of smoke. Not nearly as smoky as the Alaskan smoked porter (which just preceded the stone in my tasting) very close to a standard porter. bma4573 (136), Mechanicsville, Maryland, USA Mar 9, 2008 Pours a dark chocolate color with a nice tan head. With a strong coffee aroma. Chocolatey/coffee flavor with a hint of smoke. Really surprised I could taste a bit of smoke. Really good beer. gator2683 (133), Anchorage, Alaska, USA Mar 8, 2008 smells sweet with a very faint smokeyness. very small head, that picture to the left is misleading :) I taste chocolate and dark fruit, with the smoke appearing during the finish craftycarl21 (510), South Hero, Vermont, USA Mar 8, 2008 incredible aroma- blasts your nostrils into oblivion. appearance is gorgeous, dark brown, almost black. complex flavor- raisins, toffee, dark chocolate, and the obvious smoked overtones. mouthfeel is great- sticks to the tongue. awesome beer. WillieV (191), Maryland, USA Mar 8, 2008 Bottle: Very dark brown almost black pour with a nice thick off white head that went thin after sitting for a minute. First scent is of liquid smoke and a dark chocolate. Similar in taste as well.
