Bièropholie Calumet

Formerly brewed at Bièropholie
Style: Smoked
, Canada

12oz bottle poured into a dimpled mug. BC pours dark red with a smallish head that settles quickly. The aroma has a nice subdued smoked grains aroma and charred wood quality. This is a much better example of the style than the Grand Chef version. This one has a balanced character of roasted grains, espresso beans and a cleverly hidden balance of rock candy sugar. The smoke flavor could be a tad more prominent but really, the Grand Chef version was a little over-the-top with the smoke. The finish is clean without being crisp and watery. All in all this is an excellent porter. Thanks a million to french tickler for this trade.

Beau collet qui dure. Le gout de fumer est juste parfait et fit a merveille avec le coter chocolat de cette porter. Beatiful long-lasting head. Smokiness is perfect and fits easily with the porter’s chocolate notes.

received in trade with glouglouburp...

typical porter color... burgundy brown with a medium sized tan head and light lace trails. very metallic aroma... nickels, chocolate, caramel sweetness and mild smoke. it*s not so heavily smokey that nothing else can come through... unfortunately, there*s not a whole lot going on. the flavor is definitely more smokey than the aroma lead me to believe... chocolate, coffee, caramel (without the sweetness), earth and meat lurk under a cloak of sour and nearly salty smoke. ashy aftertaste joins up with astringent roast. medium body. soft carbonation gives it a surprisingly smooth mouth feel given the acidity. 7/3/7/4/17/3.8

Bottle says it is a “double-porter.” Pours a clear brown, with ruby accents and a tan head. Aroma of wood, charcoal, roasts, chocolate malt, and dried meats. Palate is refreshingly light and dry, preventing the robust flavors from becoming overwhelming. Calumet can best be described as follows: a smoky, wood-burning barbeque marries chocolate and molasses to produce a delicious desert-like treat. ‘Nuff said.

341 ml bottle from a trade with glouglouburp. pours deep brown with a mid sized tan head. aromas of smoke, sweet chocolate malts and spice. the flavours are porter based with some spice and the smoke lingers thoughout. the spice really shows in the finish. this beer is awesome and i wish i could purchased it year round. thanks danny!

bouteille de 341ml. belle bière foncée, presque noire, nez agréablement fumée, bouche toute aussi soyeuse, fumée, une touche de café, aucune astringence. très beau produit

Bottle courtesy of glouglouburp. Pours dark brown with a rocky off white head. Smells of roasted malt, smoke, some spice. Tastes smoky and chocolatey with a nice dark fruity hint. Excellent bitterness on the finish.
