Copper Creek Smoked Porter

Got this at Copper Creek the other night on tap. Delicious. Poured black with no head. Aroma of coffee and burnt malt. Flavor is outstanding: coffee, roasted malt, chocolate, carmel. Overall, a very fine seasonal.

Fairly black in color. Caramel and light smokey aroma. The caramel, chocolate, and smoke all comeo out in the medium body. Wonderful brew.

Wow! Just, WOW! A killer beer with the kind of sweet, malty goodness you get in a porter and some of the chocolaty flavor of a stout without the dryness. The smoked aroma and flavor make this one of the best "mouthfeel" beers I’ve ever had. Kudos!

The color of this finely crafted beer was brown. I concur, there was some carmel present in the aroma and definetely in the body. What was better than the beer though, was listening to the dirty old hippy talk about crazed conspiracy theories involving sacraficing humans in order to become president.

This was a very nice beer to warm up to. After searching all of athens for this place, (haha), we finally found it and this was the obvious first choice. The menu at the brewery said carmel smoked porter, but i assume this is one and the same. The carmel flavor and aroma was nice and thick. There were awesome smoked and roasted malts. I thought it was balanced well. None of the acidity or astringency you can get with smoked porters. The roasted malts and carmel flavors really rounded this one out. Very fine brew indeed.

Black with ruby around the edges. Large, dense light tan head. The aroma is chock full of roast, with a bit of smokiness just underneath.. The flavor is that of not-quite burnt toast. There’s a slight hop bitterness in the finish that turns a little harsh with the dark malts toward the end. The harshness that arrives as the beer warms is really its only flaw. Awesome porter.
