On tap at the Bocktown. My very first stone. Pour is nice and dark brown black with a tinge of red in there. Initially has a large tan head that fades to a darkish tan froth. Aroma is less than expected for a smoked brew. It does have some mild roastyness about it but I don’t think it can be called smoked. Hints of hickory smoking. Nice lacing on this stuff. It has some medium bitterness in the back of the throat after you get to know it. That bitterness builds as the drinks continue. Decent, just slightly bellow medium carboatiion. That back of your throat bitterness continues to build with each taste. Not bad for a porter but the smokey bitterness makes this a little more interesting than a straight porter with gentleman manners.

Bottle: Poured a deep dark black brown with a creamy thick loight brown head. The aroma was smokey with sweet malt characteristics. The taste filled my mouth with that dark smokey malt, the suttle coffee hints along with chocolate made my mouth water for every sip. Stone has yet to let me down!

Medium sized, chunky , tan/light brown head with some whispy laceing that hangs on. Dark brown color when held up to the light has a gorgeous clear red glow. Full bodied. Roasty, chocolatey nose with a hint of smoke.Slight smokeyness blends well with the malt and hops, though some more smoke wouldnt hurt. Finish is medium dry, roasty. Nice porter just needs more smoke! It is a smoked porter ya know.

Rated Nov. 2006. 22oz bomber. Very dark amber color with tan head. Light aroma. Just a hint of roasted malts. Great flavor! I taste roasted and chocolate malts and maybe a hint of black patent. There is also a subtle smoke flavor that hits about midway and builds towards the finish.

Pours a fairly thick frothy creamy brownish head and has a very dark brown appearance with ruby highlights. Lacing is fairly thick and dirty. Aromas of toasted malts, barley, smokey and mild spice notes. Flavours are somewhat sweet at first but has much more smokey notes afterwards. Lots of toasty and roasted malt flavours. Smooth and slick mouthfeel. Good retention.

Pours a dark black/brown with a nice flufy head. Aroma is strong and there is no noticable smokiness to it. Flavoy is slightly smoky with hints of dark chocolate. Texture is clean with a slight cream. Over all a nice brew.

Pours dark and barely opaque. There's a bit smoke aroma in the nose of the bottle, but it's not very detectable. Good flavor for a porter, maybe a hint of vanilla, but I don't think I'd know it was a smoked beer without the label to tell me.

A lot of red in the color for a porter, it is dark though. Aroma is very mild overall, mostly malt and some smoke, not real heavy on the smoke though. Taste is solid with malt, a bit nutty, some smoke and a good amount of hops. It doesn't remind me of a porter on any level but it is a tasty beer.
