flatmatt (79), Northville, Michigan, USA Jun 28, 2008 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.
agillespie81 (101), Denver, Colorado, USA Sep 4, 2008 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. Skinnyviking (2635), Copenhagen, Denmark Sep 3, 2008 Draught. Low and quickly disappearing off-white fluffy head. Pitch black body. Coffee cocoa vineous aroma. Coffee cocoa liquorice hops kovely smoked flavor. Low carbonation, long aftertaste. johnnyoski (22), Macomb Township, Michigan, USA Sep 1, 2008 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. fakepurseninja (493), Sammamish, Washington, USA Sep 1, 2008 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. guyinchicago (224), marengo, Illinois, USA Sep 1, 2008 pours dark brown and clean with tan head and lots of lacing aromas of smoke and coffee and roasted malts taste is of smoke.chocolate,coffee and malts has a smooth mouthfeel not a big fan of smoke beer but not over powering it is a flavor in the beer not the flavor of th beer
