2 month old bomber A: Poured black with a thin tan head that fell fairly quickly to a ring. S: Light roast, bitter chocolate and faint smoke. T: Tart fruit notes emerge from a roasty background to dominate. Whether citrus, berry or cherry/stonefruit this is surprisingly and pleasantly fruity with light smokey aftertaste. Smoke is very subtle. M: A good amount of carbonation lends a light body and it finishes clean. O: Not quite what I expect from a smoked porter but quite enjoyable.
