Brewed by Alaskan Brewing Co. of Juneau Alaska.
The Pour
Now that is a seriously dark beer. Almost black hole black, except for just a hint of dark brown around the edges. Even the pleantiful head is a nice dark caramel color.
The Taste
OK. The label does say "SMOKED porter", so it's natural to expect, well, smoke. And in that respect it delivers in spades. Each sip of this beer floods your mouth with a hearty smoke flavor that grabs your taste buds and wrestles them into submission. Once your taste buds are begin to arouse from the pummelling of the smoke, the hops arrive for the knockout. This is not your rich malty porter. No, with this Alaskan brew, you get washed in smoke and rinsed in hops. It makes for a pleasant long-lasting taste combination.
Thoughts
Really now. Who can think with all these flavors battling for dominance? Not me.
Bottoms Up!
