| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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 (140), Anchorage, Alaska, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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 (543), South Hero, Vermont, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | 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.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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. Vas19 (299), Maryland, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 8, 2008 Bomber. Extremely fizzy, literally 90% head. Something wrong with this bottle maybe? I found the nose to be relatively tight, maybe a little caramel. After a few minutes the head settled to reveal a nice black color. The first thing that came to my mind when i tasted it was smoked bacon. There is a hint of sweet malt and coffee but the smoke dominates. I think there was something off with this bottle though.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 8, 2008 Pours very dark with a massive and thick tan head... bomber may have been dropped at some point... Roasted caramel coffee aroma, smells more sweet then smoky. Strong but smooth coffee taste with a roasted malt finish. Smoke is kind of an overlay to the entire taste. pantanap (1341), Chicago, Illinois, USA
