22 oz. bottle purchased at Cigarette City. Deep dirty brown in color with thin head. Aroma is burnt caramel, ashy chocolate and tar.
Flavor is dirty caramel, earthy malt, with subtle campfire notes. The mouthfeel has a chewy yeast / maybe oatmeal flake chewiness giving a fuller body. Thankfully the smoke is mild and does help in the balance of the sweeter chocolate and earthy flavors. I really don’t normally like smoked brews but this kind of works. Still it would be better to split this then try and tackle the whole bottle yourself.

Bottle from Craft Beer Cellar Nashua. Solid dark brown color with a good sized long lasting mocha head. Light smokey chocolatey roasty aroma with a hint of earth. The flavor is rich chocolate and caramel with a bit of roast and a complimentary smokiness that isn’t overpowering like some smoked porters. Medium body, moderate carbonation and a creamy silky mouthfeel. Really nice porter.
