Commercial Description:
The dark, robust body and pronounced smoky flavor of this limited edition beer make it an adventuresome taste experience. Alaskan Smoked Porter is produced in limited "vintages" each year and, unlike most beers, may be aged in the bottle, much like fine wine.

2007 bottle. Pours black/dark brown with two finger head. Aroma of ash, smoke and roasted malts. Flavor is also smokey.. all bbq and charcoal. Medium to thick mouthfeel. Good smokey porter.

Bomber from Bottleworks. Deep black pour with a smallish head. Solid nose of chocolate, coffee, and smokehouse. Delicious flavors of super dark coffee and cocoa powder blend well with the meaty smoke notes. This is the least "meat" flavored smoke beer I’ve had, definitely the smoothest, and my favorite by a landslide. I really wish I could buy this locally as I’d love to keep some around and try aging.

2007 bottle from Chuck and Laura in WA. This is the first beer I’ve had from the Smoked genre. It very much reminded me of standing next to a charcoal BBQ and drinking a dark beer. The palate was surprisingly smooth and the flavors were distinct (chocolate and licorice). Very interesting brew.

2007 bottle shared with Timfoolery. Poureed a dark black with just a little bit of an amber hue. The head almost disappeared instantly. Smoked with chocolate and even a little bit of licorice were the main flavors. Smooth on the palate. Very drinkable beer.

2005 bottle. Taupe head, dark body with a crimson scarf. Smoky nose. Not campfire, not harsh. Smokehouse with a slight cedary spice. Roasty malt and slight bacony flavor wraps around the rest of the leather. Smooth palate ,refreshing chocolate. Seemless body leads into a clean finish. The CO2 has diminished a little and sends this traveler towards a wine-like refinement. Excellent with Humbolt Fog, the cheese that is. Glad I waited this long.

wonderful aroma, fresh brewed smell even though a year old. Great smoked flavor, been trying to smoke pork shoulder lately, and found this aroma better than anything ive made. reminiscent of chophouse smokers with... *pauses for sip* man thats good. Subtle sweet on the back of the tung, very gentle though. Its great in my humble opinion. would love to be cold breathing fresh air as I drink it.
