look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: Pours a fudge brown color with the vaguest sense of translucence; the very modest tan cap does keep its shape for a while and deposits some foamy lace on the side of the glass

Smell: Smoked campfire with hints of brown bread, chocolate, caramel and cherry

Taste: What was understated in the aroma comes on much stronger to the tastebuds; chocolate and brown bread, up front, with the smoked flavors (charcoal and a tinge of sour cherry) blasting the palate; after the swallow, the smoked elements linger, though there are subtle hints of caramel and cherry that bring balance to the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation

Overall: Several years in and this beer is still drinking very nicely, having mellowed into a well-balanced treat

Thanks, BlueOkie, for the opportunity

A: Poured dark brown with a nice tannish cap, some bubbles and light lacing presents itself

S: The nose is full of smoked meats, campfire and cigarette smoke

T: A big woody char blended with campfire upfront which lingers and transiotions to a smoked meat presence, light peat and chocolate which ends in a lingering chocolate, meaty and smokey bliss.The big complaint was a persistent burnt rubber note that really stuck around.

M: A big body, well carbonated, smoke and more smoke sit on the palate

O: Good for the style. Would recommend and I find this superior to Alaskan Smoked Porter

a - poured a one finger thick creamy tan head into a snifter that left a thin ring of lace that disappeared quickly. the body was a dark black.
s - liquid smoke with a hint of roastiness.
t - smokey, burnt ends, wood, roast are the dominant flavors. the smoke here is more subdued than the aroma.
m - medium and slick mouthfeel.
o - very nice smoked beer. the smoke is there but not overwhelming, just the right amount. paired this with a bbq burger (pulled pork piled on top of a burger) and it was great.

A: pours pitch black, a little thin on the edges, small amount of head with minimal retention

S: holy smokes... smells like campfire, strong hickory and smoke, a bit of roasty chocolate in the background

T: like the nose the taste is incredibly smokey, a bit of woodiness with chocolate and coffee to round things out

MF: somewhat thin, mellow carbonation, smooth body

O: this is perhaps the smokiest beer that I have experienced, the smoke doesn't ever get out of hand and provides and interesting porter with plenty of depth

Thanks to TMoney2591 for allowing for the OK tick

Holy God this is mostly smoke with a little bit of porter. It pours the dark brown you'd expect from the style, but ever-the-while it smells like wood ashes are wafting around the room. There are times when some smoke is appreciated and there is times when it makes me think they burnt the beer. This is the latter. This beer takes a page right from Aecht with the level of smoke, dear god it smells like super charred bacon. Surprisingly the taste mellows it quite nicely, but by this point I'm making sure not to stick my nose back in the glass. The taste has the obvious smoke infuse malt flavor with some chocolate tones behind it. There is actually a nice creamy overall feel to this beer and overall, I don't mind drinking it. That having been said, I'm glad somebody else bought it, Someone like TMoney2591 who appreciates the smoke WAY more than I do.

A: Beer pours a dark brown in color while still retaining a slight translucency around the edges. Forms a thin dark tan head a thick ring around the edge.

S: Smells of smoke and lots of it. Bacon, wood and maybe some roasted malts.

T: Roasted malts to the point there is even a little char. Smoke, bacon, and campfire.

M: On the heavier side of medium with a mild, char-like, smoky bitterness.

O: A good beer. Smoky as hell, but still drinkable. If you like smoke, you'll like this one. If not, I'd stay away.
