12oz bottle poured into a goblet A: Almost pitch black with just a hint of brown. One finger of head that quickly fades to a ring around the glass. S: Very nice. Smoke and peat start off, almost like I'm smelling a scotch without the alcohol. In the background, I get a hint of dark cherry. The more I smell, the more dark cherry I get. I get some coffee and a bit of milk chocolate, too. Intriguing, and quite nice. T: Wow. So complex. Again, lots of peat and dark cherry. It's well supported by some hop bitterness and a healthy portion of dark and milk chocolate. This is unlike any smoked beer I've ever had. I usually love the bacon bombs, and even though this is far from that it's quite amazing. M: I wouldn't change a thing. Fairly thick and silky smooth with good carb. O: I am extremely surprised by this beer. I have been passively seeking it out for some time, but I had no idea it'd taste like this, and no idea I'd like a beer so much with this flavor profile. Far beyond expectations. This is not your run of the mill Smoked Porter.
