Unplugged Smoke On The Porter
Same label as other beers of the "Unplugged" series. Uses Wisconsin barleys that were generously cold smoked with apple wood. Pours a rich pure ebony with a 2 finger frothy tan crown. Some light lacing and a thin head hangs around throughout. Aroma is smoked jerky and ham with a touch of dark roast coffee which blends with dried apples. Very tasty, sweet fruity maltiness, some chocolates and a touch of carmel, with a delicately smooth smoked flavor. The smoke lingers down the back of the tongue. The smoky flavor is not overpowering or too strong. The body is just about right for this style, not too heavy, not too thin. Very nicely balanced and quite easy to drink, though I'm not sure if the smokiness would wear on me if I had more than one. For just having one, its very good.
