Poured this from a bottle.
A: Pours a dark brown body with some amber hues and small, tan head with pretty good retention and lacing.
S: a smoky, roasted meat-like smell; some roasted, woody notes as well.
T: a smoky, smoked wood beer; slight burnt meat aftertaste; definitely on a smokier side of a porter as it is very resembling of a smokebeer.
M: medium bodied and pretty smooth.
O: nice feel and taste combo; pretty full bodied for a porter and very smooth overall.

Smokiness brings a good added depth to this beer. Good hearty flavor with aromas of roasted malts and smoke.

Not a big porter fan, but this was a really nice beer.

A - Pours dark cherry black with not even a whole layer of head.
S - Big smoke attack, hickory chips soaked in apple cider, burnt cherrywood, a little bit of bacon, big roasted malt.
T - Smoke is definitely prevalent but there's a major unbalance, there's a ton of acidic tart cherry and apple flavor mid through end, the smoke gets taken down a notch by it, it actually has an apple cider flavor to it, which is neat, but unexpected, big roasty malts and a hint of dark chocolate.
M - A little too thin and fizzy for my liking, but still decent, easily drinkable.
O - Even though the only area I had a 3.75 in was smell, i still have this a 3.75 overall because I think too many "smoked" beers really loose the smoked essence, its definitely in this beer, and its makes for a great aroma, but the flavor kinda looses it, still I was glad to try it.

After reading the other reviews, I wonder was it a bad case, or was I really drunk!!!! Unfortunately I was sober when I sipped this beer. I love smoked foods and beer, but this was like smelling the liquid smoke bottle that is for amateur's. The first sip put the bile from my stomach in my mouth. I thought it must be something else and took another drink.. More vomit, not good. This was a two sip drain poor and a good pranker for your friends. I shared this with many and found no one whom likes the taste of over smoked beer mixed with vomit. Either way stay away!!!!

Pored nice. That's all folks.

This is a nice idea, and the smoke level is pleasant, but the base porter itself is so thin and insubstantial. The only thing keeping a better rating on this beer is how well done the smoke character is.
