Feb 25, 2009 Below average smoked porter. Soy sauce is prevalent in taste and smell. I much prefer stone and east ends offerings.

Feb 23, 2009 Bottled. Pours out in a dark brown colour with a rich lasting pale brown foam. Smoke, crackers, ham, dark chocolate and anise in the aroma. Nearly full-bodied with notes of peat, smoked ham, salt, burnt malts and black unsweetened chocolate. Long salty and a bit tarry finish with notes of tobacco and burnt malts.m

Feb 22, 2009 Bottle. Black pour with lovely light brown head. Smoky charred wood, meaty notes, some smoked Gouda and definite hop presence on the nose and on the tongue. Bit of roast. And some chocolate and slight coffee. Thin palate. Really damn good.

Feb 21, 2009 22 oz bottle. Dirty old oil pour, descent dark tan head. Chocolate aromas, some understated roast. Starts a little creamy, but loses that and has a nice carbonated heavy-medium body. The taste is where the smoke shows up. Real nice balance of dark chocolate, roast malt, peat and coffee. More peat and coffee through the finish, which is a nice lingering roast. Very easy to down. This along with the Founders Porter are the best I’ve had in a good eight months. The last, which I could compare this to is the Dark Horse Black Bier, which some would not classify as a porter. This is deserving of the rating. All the benefits of a Baltic, without some of the drawbacks that can pop up.

Feb 21, 2009 (22oz bottle, courtesy of blutt59) Pours a dark brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of smoked jerky, freshly ground coarse peppercorn medley, roasted malt, and chocolate. Flavor of smoked meat, roasted malt, some dark fruit, and light chocolate with a dry finish. Excellent smoked beer!

Near black. Thick light brown head. Smokey, meaty aroma with rich chocolate malt and a slight dark fruit note. Rich dark malts, molasses & dark fruits with just a sick amount of smoke piled on top of that.
