Commercial Description:
Just in time as these animals are headed for extinction. The Mountain Gorilla Conservation Fund has partnered with the Wynkoop Brewing Company and have handcrafted an award winning private label beer, which is calling “Silverback Smoked Porter”. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each pint will go to support the Mountain Gorillas of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The mountain gorillas are the closest link to mankind and they are on the verge of extinction. With estimated 720 animals left in the world and none are in captivity, MGCF needs your help. Silverback Smoked Porter, a traditional dark brew, will be available July 1st, at the following locations; Wynkoop Brewing Company, Cherry Cricket, Wazee Supper Club, Pearl Street Grill, Phantom Canyon Brewing Company, Gaetano’s Italian and Goosetown Tavern.

On draught at brewpub. Light smoke taste -which I suppose is good since I do not like smoked beers. Medium to light body. Was on cask. Nothing memorable here.

cask at the brewpub - Pours dark brown and smells of smoke and roast malt. It has a smooth, sweet, smoky roast malt flavor. I think it’s just a little too light on flavor, but still good. It’s medium bodied this being the cask version, lightly carbonated.

Strong rauch-smokiness the overwhelms. Deep brown, boarders black with little head. Slightly smokey, but more sweet. I personally have a hard time getting past the smokiness.

On Tap at the Wynkoop Brewery, Denver 07/10/2008 Roast aroma. Small beige head. Black strong in alcohol and smooth on the palate with some dryness in a crisp and bitter burnt roast finish.

Included in a sampler at brewpub. Tried several beers on a visit to Wynkoop and I THINK this was one of them. Do not remember anything standing out in particular but they were all well done.

Great nose--rauch-like aroma with big salami and smoke qualities. Roasted smoothness in the flavor and a lot of qualities like an English-made porter. Red hues in teh body. Fruity grape/port notes in the finish. Was served warmer than the other beers--if so, credit to them for adapting to the style. On tap at brewpub.

Draft Wynkoop 11/4/08-Pours a dark brown almost black. Aroma of bacon, coffee, and smoke. Taste of the same but a little weak. This light to medium bodied brew was nice tasting but a little weak for a porter.
