Pours golden amber with a thick white head. Aroma is sweet and bread-like, similar to a pilsener. Taste is malty, subtly fades to a nice crisp hop element on the back of the tongue. The palate continues that hop note but leads to an intense and pleasant bread note that lingers on the nose. Excellent beer.

Month old can A: Actually a fairly clear pour. Short beige head atop medium orange-gold body. Short retention but left a thick ring of lace. S: Citrus, sweet overripe tropical fruit and caramel. T: Medium citrus pith bitterness joined by a slightly sweeter peach or apricot note that lingers with toasted bread and a hint of alcohol. M: Medium light body with soft carbonation and light resin at the finish. O: Very drinkable, tasty and worth a try.

First let me say that a s'mores beer does not sound very appealing, even my better half, that loves smores, wouldn't even taste it. It s a bottle from saranac, so why not try? I have liked many of sarry's offerings over the last two decades and most were quite acceptable. I'd say sarry is one of the original companies that saw the profit in craft beer, it was their idea! WTF! YES! Smell is alarming, its quite sweet, almost like artificial smores from the fire. Aroma is sweet and candy perfume. Big shady dark beer, really dark brown presentation for he eye. Once I get over the smell, I tried a sip; it was coconut laced sweet cloying porter. And then that alarming thang comes in and supports the sweet near-cloying taste. Could not do another of these sweet dark coconut chocolate bombs, so one sided with sweetness and coconuts, shredded processed coconuts that is. One big sweet candy thicker mouth coating beer tasting experience. Come - on, you really want to call this a porter? More like a spiced veggie fruit nut kind of brew. Not a good representation of porter, heheh. JMHO, HAH
