OFallon Smoked Porter

Bottle from theisti. This one somehow got in the back of the beer fridge. Poured directly @ cellar temp (~55). Nice cold evening to pull it out. Nose is, obviously, smoky, a little game sausage and dirty pine smoke. Initial taste is heavy smoke, with a little bacon and a nice sweetness reminiscient of root beer. Hiigh carbonation makes the finish a little prickly, like seltzer, but creates a nice crispness that offsets the heavy smoke. Just a little watery. As it warms a bit, some interesting tartness plays in the middle as well. Interesting beer. Thanks, Tim.

12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours a near black color with a small, quickly fading tan head. Good aroma of smoked wood, chocolate malt, toast, and dry smoked meat. I love smoked porters on the nose but they often can’t pull off a balanced flavor, and this is no different, as the smoke overwhelms the rest of the palate. The flavor is restrained by the somewhat light, watery, carbonated body. Some bite from the carbonation, a little sweetness. Dry, smoky finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours nearly black with a nice creamy tan head. Nice aroma of chocolate malt and smoked wood. Not as much of a meaty character as people say compared to the likes of shlenkerla’s beers, but still a nice bit of malt and toasty sweet nose. Flavor has some nice characteristics, I like the chocolate and the light not overbearing earthiness with the wood and smoke. It finished really quickly though, with very little roundness and oomph in the aftertaste. Medium light body, a bit watery and a soda like carbonation. Very disappointed with this beer.

Bottle pours dark brown with little to no head. Aroma is smoked meat. Flavor is smoke, beef jerky, bacon, and a bit of caramel sweetness. I love smoked beers and this one didn’t disappoint.

Pours a deep brown. Nose is big smoke, wood, smoked meat, bacon, roasted malt, some fruit. Flavor is nice smokiness, toasted malt, smoked meats, ash. Nice smoke beer.

Bottle. Seemed light on the smokiness. Heavy, almost cloying malt with hints of coffee, molasses, prunes, and maple. Hops almost indistinguishable, as well as alcohol. A tad too thick and sweet for me, but fine beer. Would make a good dessert beer?

Bottle. Deep brown in color with a nice off white head with a nice lacing. Smoky malty caramel aroma. Malty caramel smoky bacony flavor. Very nice smoked beer. Finish is smoky. Full bodied. Well balanced beer. Very nice. Enjoyable.

Bottle compliments of Pepsican via trade. Poured a dark brown color with small head. Aroma of brown sugar and smoke with some hickory. Flavor of liquid smoke, sweetness, teriyaki. Medium pallet. Very good Smoked porter.
