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.

Keg at the White Horse’s American Beer Festival 2009. A smoked toffee aroma but the flavours are completely overpowered by the chocolate. It was really like drinking a Yoo Hoo.

Pump @ The white horse. This beer is awesome to me. Aroma is very complex, plenty of vanilla, cocoa beans, tobacco, some fruitiness, leathery, just an hint of smoke. Stunning. Flavour is complex as well, sweet balanced and warming. A beautiful beer.

[Tap] Pours a very dark brown color with a small tan head. Sweet and roasty aroma with some light smoke. Heavily roasted and burnt tasting caramel and molasses. Some smoke, but more of a burnt character. Slight astringency and below average mouthfeel. This is a pretty good beer, but it didn’t seem to hold up to some of the better smoked beers.

Pours a dark brown with a red hue, and an off-white/ tan head. The aroma is sweet and roasted with hints of dark fruit and smoke. Taste is great, a full flavored porter with a good malt bill and balance of hops. There is a slight tobacco finish with the smoke. A great porter.

Pours a deep amber-brown, not quite opaque but almost. Aroma is vague, but I can detect a little nuttiness and smokiness...the roasted malt comes through only after it has warmed up a little. Flavor: The smoke is the first thing out the gate, followed again by toasted malt, and then just a little coffee bean acidity. Creamy palate, but a little watery though. Overall, good minus.
