Bottle. Thanks jason. poured a highly carbonated dark brown color with a small light brwon head. aroma is strong smoke and some chocolate maybe. Taste isis very smokey and woodsy. lots of burnt flovors through out. Light chocolate and some caramet on the back of the tounge. Not my favorite style of beer but this one was pretty good.....

This is the smoothest smoked porter I’ve ever tasted. It has a subtle smoked almost ham smell - delicious. It’s dark , almost burgundy but not Cloudy.

Thanks to Israel for sending this along. Bottle poured into a snifter produced a finger worth of tan head that went to a nice coating of lace. The body was a standard black colored porter. The aroma is nice and smoky with a light sweetness from the malts. Its flavor is well balanced between the roasted malts and sweet malt’s, with some earthiness thrown in for good measure. This brew has a good medium mouthfeel with good carbonation. A nice smoked porter easy to drink and easy to enjoy

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Dark brown with lasting ring. Smoky woody chocolate aroma. Thin chocolate and wood smoke with a little fizz on the tongue. Somewhat bitter, slightly harsh finish. Lingering numbing mouthfeel. Not too good, but at least it’s a smoked porter.

This is a great beer. The aroma is outstanding, roasted malts, as if they just came off the campfire, complete with the smokiness of the campfire. Deep brown, cola like appearance, tan head. The flavor follows the aroma, with the taste of smoke, roasty malts, chocolate, coffee. The finish has a nice bitterness, mainly augmented by the roasty quality of the beer. Medium, slightly too thin on the mouthfeel. Very good beer just the same.

Flavor is lightly sweet and light to medium bitter. Tastes of bitter coffee, light chocolate, slight bamburg wood, slight smoke, light pine hops, slight caramel, and roasting. Medium body.

Bottle Pours a deep dark brown with a tan head which goes away fairly quickly. Very light lacing. Has a good aroma of caramel malts and smokeiness. Has some hints of alcohol.
