Our famous peat-smoked porter. It’s a campfire in a glass!

Poured coffee black and struggled to hold a light brown head.
The taste leads with the smoked peat flavor, which almost dominated the porter but the flavor of the smoke gives way to a more traditional coffee and cacao malt profile. Smoked coffee and cacao maybe.
The feel is like drinking cold coffee but with a little carbonation, which is somehow accenting the taste.
OA, I haven’t been the biggest fan of Harmony, but I am a fan of this porter.

Enjoyed on tap at Harmony House. Poured black in color with minimal tan head retention. Aroma is malty and very smokey. The flavor is HUGE on smoked malts up front. It tastes nearly like a campfire at first, giving way to a more balanced roasted malt flavor. Nice porter here, but you must like smoked beers to like this one.

Great Porter. Has a smokey taste to it that makes it easy to sip. Must have.
