When first released, our smoky version of a traditional English porter was ahead of its time. Today, it's a highly regarded staple among craft beer fans and our go-to food complement, pairing effortlessly with all kinds of cuisine, from peanut butter and banana sandwiches to braised pork belly and apple pie. This worldly libation is dark, smooth and complex, with chocolate and coffee flavors suffused with subtle smokiness from the addition of peat-smoked malt.

We are the only constant user of peat-smoked malt in the U.S. craft beer industry. We love to use this beer as a base for incorporating interesting ingredients such as vanilla, chipotle and citrus.

650 ml bottle. Pours a dark clear brown with full head. Aromas of dark sweet fruit, tobacco, and oily smoke. Flavors of same with a bit more emphasis on candied dark fruit over smoke - which is great.

26th May 2015: on a four beer flight at the Stone Oceanside outlet. Dark and foreboding brew, burnt coffee esters fill the nose with a smoky trace or two. Taste similar, coffee and smoky. Slightly bitter finish. Decent.

From bottle to tulip. Aroma of restrained chocolate and coffee. Moderate cedar. Pours brown with ruby highlights. Light brown head sustains around the outside with large bubbles. Very limited lacing. Taste is moderate high peaty, which predominates over the other flavors. Moderate low biscuit, and slight semi-sweet chocolate. Moderate high bitterness.

Bottle at home split with Sarah. Aroma is woody, ranch malts, bit of wet socks, charred wood and some caramel sweetness. There is some refried bean thing on the nose as well. Dark copper / mahogany brown coloured pour with a lasting frothy light cream coloured head. Flavour is composed of charred wood, roast, some lactose sugars, ashy roast, earthy smoke. Some little dried fruit and subdued smoke character. Palate is medium bodied, slightly creamy, milky on the tongue, highish carbonation. Decent smoked beer.

Old rating on 22oz bomber. Pours a deep dark brown with ruby highlights and a quickly dissipating tan head. Molasses, brown sugar and roasted grain aromas present with a hint of smokiness on the nose. Nice carbonation. Oily mouthfeel. Solid porter but the smokiness is also muted on the palate. Good finish.
