Appearance:
Black with ruby on the edges and a layer of chewy tan lace.
Smell:
A satisfying blend of smoke, espresso, roasted malt and chocolate aromas that conjure up images of campfires and starry nights.
Taste:
A full-bodied beer with a satiating mouth feel that's loaded with roasted complexity. It begins with a sharp roasted smack that quickly turns into a subtle and smooth blend of smoke and malt that's accented by ample hops. The alder smoke is light, unlike in some vintages, and a musky undercurrent gives the beer a wholesome appeal. It finishes dry and warming, leaving only the vague taste of smoke and roasted grain on the palate.
Notes:
A remarkable robust porter with wood-smoke flavors that give it incredible depth. Tastes sublime with smoked salmon fettuccini, smoked game or even Irish stew.
