2012 Smoked Porter (Alaskan Brewing Co.)


Now for something completely different from the earlier English and Irish offerings:





Appearance:

Very Dark brown verging on black body with a fast disappearing tan head.

Aroma:

Not surprisingly wood smoke and a medicinal TCP smell

Taste:

Smoky, but not as much as expected, chocolate with a hops coming through in the finish.

Overall:

Much more complex in taste than I expected, the smoke dominates but there is room for other flavours, a very nice beer if a little expensive, which means not for everyday drinking but nice for a treat,

8.5/10
