Stone Smoked Porter is dark, rich and complicated. A porter is substantially darker than a pale ale, but not aw black or opaque as a stout. Our smoked Porter has a captivatingly deep mahogany color, complimented by silky dark tan head. Rich, full bodied and robust. Smooth, with chocolate and coffee like flavors balanced by the subtle "smokey" character of just the right amount of peat-smoked specialty malt.

"OK.....about a week after I tried what is/was possibly my favorite non-imperial porter (Avery New World), I sample something that is quite possibly better. This is one damn good porter! Would have liked to grab a 6'er to sample (if they even have them) rather than just one 22oz. One day in the near future I will have to test these again side by side, but for now I'll just call it a draw. This has a similar super dark brown/coffee black appearance with mocha head. Not super coffee-flavored like some robust/mocha porters, which I prefer a good balance of chocolate and hops as well rather than mostly coffee. This has a smokey flavor though, but not overwhelming as well. Hard to tell where the flavor comes from...I am thinking aged a bit in oak perhaps? Smooth and crips mouthfeel. My first sample from Stones, heard great things about them and they have backed it up so far. Can't wait to try some more!"

"If you thief any of TC’s fuckin’ beats, right
We will send ’round the most murkiest murkmen from Murkton
On a Monday, which is a murky day
And we will fucking murk you, right?
We’re not talkin’ no normal sway back
Patrick Swayze, nice and easy, ballet dancing, lemon squeezy
Style, yeah?
We’re talking murky
We’re talking pea souper, we’re talking fog, darkness
We’re coming ’round your house
We’ll murder your fish, your dog, your cat
Animal, vegetable, mineral
Listen, we’ll come ’round and fuck you up
That’s what I’m saying, yeah?
We ain’t playing, pal
It’s just a dirty little vibe, yeah?
If you fuckin’ touch this fuckin’ vibe mates
I’ll stick your neck in
OK
Deep like Titanic, make the dance panic
That one a penny, two a penny, vibe you can’t manage
Bo! Pure nasty habit, sadness I can’t have it
Do your move, bust your style, raver dance rapid
Gidabiddy hiddabiddy gidabiddy beat on the flow that’s so savage
Uncle TC and Mr. Jakes, that spells damage
We run things from here to trinity, oh, we damn flashy
Over breakbeat, SK, salsa or tough garage
Hip-hop, even if you’re stiff dead in a carriage
True to the dead one that left with a ratchet
Wrap your head around this stuff, kid, you can’t nap it
It’s the rough-rugged, ever-ready raw-core classic

"Pours a nice black carbonaty glass. Nose of rich malts and candy. Nice smokey porter, nothing above average. Generic. No wonder this was on special. Coffee-tasting little bit, not bad, good finish."

[4] Review by Chef Chad from Grand Junction, CO, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (1/19/2009 9:49:01 PM)
"i will be honest.. I did not want to stop drinking it. Smells of roasted love and subtle smoke. Pours a dark brown almost black with a very light thin hue at the top. Head was thick and creamy and tan. Mouth feel was full but not thick with a very smooth finish. Flavor was robust and malty and sweet with some chocolate..... but Smoked.... Very nice. "

"Big Porter, rich, full, and robust as Stone claims. The fairly subtle smokiness (especially when compared to Alaskan's SP) adds an uncommon complexity. good stuff!"
