Sep 1, 2008 22oz bottle: Pours very dark brown with an off-white head. Aroma of smoky,roasted malt, cocoa and slight hint of coffee. Nice smoked taste with some dark chocolate flavor gives it a subtle bitter finish. Surprisingly lighter body than I expected. I’ll probably try this one again.

Sep 1, 2008 About what I expected. Moderate roasted malt backbone with light smokiness. Moderate dark chocolate with some light coffee bean notes. Woody and somewhat earthy, a tad thin.

Aug 30, 2008 Started with a wonderful smokey dark fruit aroma. Dark brown pour with tones of amber and a thick light tan head. Flavor was disappointing compared to the aroma. Reminded me of Dogfish Head d’Etre but watered down and with smokey overtone to it. Finished with a slight bitterness. Overall not a bad beer, but very mellowed flavor of malts and hops that do not let reach its potential.

Aug 27, 2008 Dark brown color with tan head. Smoky aroma. Roasted malt flavor with chocolate and coffee flavors. This beer was just ok for me.

Aug 24, 2008 Got this beer some time ago in a trade. Pours a black body with red hints at the edges, and a huge beige head. The aroma was light; earthy notes, some smoke, toasted malts and light chocolates. The flavor was a full and nice porter, some toasted malts and a creamy body, but also a nice smoked aspect, especially in the finish. Very nice.

Aug 24, 2008 Bottle. Deep dark mahogany pour with tan head. From the nose to the taste, what struck me about this beer was its hoppiness. Wow... never had a porter this hoppy. For my taste buds, it obscured the more porter-like elements (which were all there--lactose, smoke, peat, chocolate, malt), and I didn’t think this was smoked enough to merit the "Smoked Porter" label, even if they don’t claim it to be a rauchbier. All that said, it was a very enjoyable brew; just needed some expectation management. Not to mention that I had a very meaty/smoky Alaskan smoked porter directly before... so quite different.

Aug 22, 2008 22oz bottle, purchased somewhere in Boston for $5. Consumed during the month of its best before date. Pours very dark with minimal head. Nice lacing though. All malt aroma of medium strength. The first sip gives an initial peppery sensation. The peppery sensation remains throughout. Nice malty flavours, with some coffee tastes thrown in the mix.
