Prior to brewing our Smoked Porter, Matt selects specialty malts to be smoked over an open flame, imparting a unique flavor profile in the porter. The malts are smoked using apple and hickory wood for a full 72 hours. Spring House Brewing Co. chose to smoke the grain in a local smoke house that dates back to the late 19th century. This one-of-a-kind smoke house imparts layers of smoky depth to the beer that cannot be replicated. Enjoy!

This beer is seriously old probably six or seven years old. A hard pour produced a one finger light tan head with minimal results. The head is foamy and creamy with poor retention. When I poured the beer I could see tell tale sign that maybe this is dead. When I popped the cork on the bottle I did not get the semi loud pop, but instead of dull pop.

N: Actually this is the first smoked porter that the smoke was not overpowering but in harmony with the other aromas. I coffee, chocolate, wood, smoke, chemical, toffee, molasses, roasted notes and real earthy.

T: The smoke is muted, chemicals, smoke, toffee, molasses, roasted notes. earthy, yeasty, chocolate, coffee, and a slight fruity note.

M: Chewy, coating, slightly carbonated and finishes linger awhile.

O: This smoked porter is balanced, sadly it is over aged the smoke on the beer has kinda died.
