Nice smoky aroma along with roasted malt and chocolate. Flavour of roasted malt, light smoke, some chocolate and a mild roasty bitter finish. Average to medium bodied.

(3+) Mdoerately smokey aroma, very lightly acrid. Bitter lightly ashen porter character, sweet malt base. (6+) Average bodied palate is smooth, lightly carbonated. Could be more full for my liking. Just enough smoke character in this to turn me off of it a bit. Not bad, but needs some more depth beyond the roasty smoke touchstones. <i>As Pleasantville Smoked Porter? Cask at Coles, Buffalo</i>

Smokey nose, dark chocolate, black cherry, black, with a small toffee head. Taste is milder than the nose, sublte chocolate, fruit is softer and the smoke is demure. Medium bodied, really well balanced, pleasanty bitter. Marvellous. hopson (595), Williamsville, New York, USA

Okay, but not outstanding- blipp (1679), Newark, New Jersey, USA

The aroma is smoked malt, roast and leather. The flavor has a nice balance of smoked malt and sweet caramel. Burnt wood and a touch of hops round in out nicely. Very good. swoopjones (1915), Buffalo, New York, USA
