Aug 21, 2003 Updated: Aug 26, 2003Smoked, roasted taste with a mild chocolate undertone. I noticed a wiskey-ish sort of underlying taste which I took quite a liking to. I will buy more of this as soon as I can.

Aug 20, 2003 pours black with red around the bottom of the glass. aroma is of hops chocolate coffee, and toffee. this really is just a cranked up version of the smoked porter. same flavors just more, and more of an alcohol warming feeling, yet still pretty smooth, and very soft mouthfeel. as in the first i'm really not getting any smoke flavor but oh well I still throughly enjoyed this beer too bad i only have one bottle :(

Aug 20, 2003 Black w/ ruby hue. Beige head. Light smoked malt aroma w/ some roastiness & a whack of hops. Full-bodied. Again a lightly smoked, roasty flavour w/ notes of chocolate, licorice, & coffee. Quite a lot of earthy hops (perhaps too much).

Aug 10, 2003 (Bottle) Similar to the Smoked Porter but I found more hops in the nose. Little head and near opaque body. Hoppy flavour for a smoked. Good.

Aug 4, 2003 This was certainly not a smoked porter I would write home to Mom about. Minimal in its smoked flavor, it ranks a distant fourth behind Alaskan Smoked, Schlenkerla Urbock, and Degroens Rauchbock. For an Anniversary Ale from Stone, quite disappointing.

Jul 28, 2003 Pours with a dark brown body topped by a thick tan lasting head with good lacing on the glass. Slightly smokey malt aroma with sweet chocolaty notes and a slight bitterness. Smokey malt flavor with bitter sweet notes and a touch of chocolate. the finish is bitter and smokey. Medium to full bodied and relatively smooth.

Jul 21, 2003 Updated: Jun 9, 2004Opaque and nearly jet black except for some amber highlights on the edges. Large frothy beige head that diminished perfectly. Aroma of charcoal, malt, and alcohol. Caramel flavor and light smoky, somewhat sweet finish that endures. An excellent, rich, full-bodied porter that kept getting better with each sip. I love this beer and the fact that it lingered in my area for circa 2 years after its release.
