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.

22 oz bottle. Pours opaque black with a sizable dark tan head. Aroma sweet, dark fruits, some roasty and bitter chocolate aromas. Taste is roasty and smokey, bitter chocolate, dark fruits, something a little tart in the flavor as well. Smokiness lingers on the palate. Pretty good.

Black color......opaque. Thick, creamy head. Heavy malt aroma, with subtle hints of smoke. Somewhat of a smoky malt flavor up front......very smooth mouthfeel. Smoke flavor continues into the back, though mingled in with a slightly bitter taste......finish is long and bitter. Though quite tasty, this smoked porter is a tad thin, and a little too bitter.

22oz bottle: Pours very dark brown with an off-white head. Aroma of smoky,roasted malt, cocoa and slight hint of coffee. Nice smoked taste with some dark chocolate flavor gives it a subtle bitter finish. Surprisingly lighter body than I expected. I’ll probably try this one again.

About what I expected. Moderate roasted malt backbone with light smokiness. Moderate dark chocolate with some light coffee bean notes. Woody and somewhat earthy, a tad thin.
