Formerly brewed at New Glarus Brewing Company
Style: Smoked
New Glarus, Wisconsin USA

this beer was great and is only sold in wisconsin,thank god i don’t live far from the border. poured black with average dark tan head with lots of lacing. aromas of smoke ,coffee .taste of mild smoke and sweetness i think from chocolate not very thick,but very smooth and clean

Bottle at Magic_dave6’s disco dance tasting. Very dark ruby with a thin off-white head. Burnt malty aroma, chocolate, plenty of bite. Mouth is a bit smoky, that catches the back of the throat, malty and very drinkable. Very good.

Not a fan of Rauchbiers and this one leaned too much in that direction. Poured out nice and dark, almost black, with a full tan head. The aroma was ash. Folks talk of bacon, but I don’t get it. I LOVE bacon, the smell of it, the taste of it. But I never get that in heavily smoked beers. I get the aroma of ashes and a flavor akin to adding water to the bottom of your grill after cooking. This wasn’t quite that bad but the smoke didn’t have the subtlty of ofther smoked beers I’ve enjoyed. Couldn’t get past it in the aroma or the flavor to really enjoy this brew but it wasn’t as bad as the Rauschbiers I’ve endured.

Deep brown ... oh yeah definitly smokey and some roast malts ... again lots of good solid roast malts with quite a relaxed smokeyness, that increases in intensity in its swollow.

12 oz bottle via Mys Swap 3.0 (thanks monger!). Been looking forward to this one. Pours near black with a large tan head. Nose is of course smoky...so smokey that i don’t get anything but smoke! AS for the taste, there is what i THINK to be some roastiness under the smoke, as well as a bit of sour cherry and chocolate, and perhaps some raisin. The smoke dominates but is not overkill though. Body is medium and carbonation is moderate. This is one of the better smoked beers i have had.

Aroma is so woodsy and smoky. Very nice chocolate, cocoa aroma too. Taste is slightly sour, woodsy, touch watery. However, very nice. Finish is woodsy, lingers. Doesn’t sour on the finish, like I’d expect.

Thanks to terminus for sharing this smoked porter. Pours dark brown with a brownish hue and deep tan head. The aroma has lots of smoked malt with wood and peat, some chocolate and only light amounts of bacon. Medium body with moderate carbonation between soft and sharp. The flavor starts off with smoky malt, some chocolate and clean roast. The finish is clean and lighter than expected. Not my favorite style by a long shot, but it is good for what it is.

thanks to ilanman for donating this to the cause. scent is strong with smoke, chocolate and malts. taste is not as strong as the scent, but is still very good.
