09:09 pm - Stone Smoked Porter
For my Inaugural post on this blog, I am reviewing Stone Smoked Porter
 Yes, its smoky.
Yes, its porter.
But, other than that ...
What have you done for me lately?
Pleasant, full, mouth feel.
Pleasant initial taste.
Smooth after taste.
Tastes rich, as I would expect of Porter.
Taste smoky, as I would expect of smoked porter.
But, what does it offer, other than that?
Nada.
No suprising counter tastes, after tastes, or other significant complexities.
It tastes like a standard porter, which has had smoke blown through it.
Not bad, mind you ... but not outstanding, either.
Verdict: If its this, or most standard American beers -- go for this. At least it has *some* flavor.
That being said: nothing particularly outstanding or memorable.
A good fall-back -- but not something to go out of your way for.
Anyone have a different opinion of this brew -- or, better yet, a better smoked porter to recommend?
