Brewed by Alaskan Brewing Co
Style: Smoked

bottle @Hoboken#1-pours a disappearing light tan head and black color with red tint. Aroma is smoke. Taste is smoke, dark malt, some dark fruit. Occasional.

this porter was delicious. At first it tasted as if i was drinking liquid smoke. however, as the beer warmed up i enjoyed it more and more. Pours a deeo dark black which is somewhat see through. taste is of smoked chocolate and campfire. quite yummy once you get your mind used to it.

A fine porter. Pours a dark brown almost black with a tan brown head somewhat frothy. Has a strong smoked almost burnt aroma of chocolate and caramel, almost like it was cooked on a barbecue. The flavor here is very smoky all around with an upfront burnt chocolate malt and a hint of caramel. There is a long lingering smoky aftertaste that was pleasing. This was one of the most smoky porters I have ever had.

As almost everyone has stated; I have waited a long time to try this beer. The aroma is fantastic, if I hadn’t started drooling, I would have just smelled the beer for hours. It is very dark with a thin brown head. The smoke flavor is not obtrusive at all, the bittering hops however, are (in my oppinion). The combination of smoke and chocolate maltiness made me sit and sip this beer for about an hour. I like it alot.

2007 Bottle. Pours with a small, light brown head that reverts to a ring around the glass quickly. Aroma is of dry, rich coffee, vanilla and a touch of smoke. Taste is coffee with a nice, but strong smokey finish. Nice, creamy mouthfeel with light carbonation. A bit too much smoke for me to drink by itself in large quantities, but just fine to pair with the ribs I made tonight.

Very good porter. 2005 bottle thanks to Steve Olson. Pour was dark with strong notes of chocolate and smoke. Flavor was a bit more roasted finishing with a very natural smoky character. This was a very good and flavorful porter. Would buy, well receive as a gift, again.

pours very dark with a small head. scent is of smoke and roast. taste is the same. strong smoke flavor. Pretty good beer.

Bottle @ Kolding Bryglaug Americans tasting.
[thank you, After4ever!]
Pours deep red-black with a deep, beige-brown head. Light lacing. Aroma is very smoky, light chocolate and hard roasted malts. But it sure is powerful smoky :o). Fine mouthfeel. Flavour is super balanced though, still lots of smoke, but chocolate and very hard roasted malts with good hops create this balance. Dry finish.
