Stone Brewing - Smoked Porter


You may already know Stone Brewing because of their wildly popular Arrogant Bastard Ale. Although Arrogant Bastard's call is as strong as the Sirens, Stone's best beer is their Smoked Porter. The first sip that rolls across your lips is as deceiving as a transvestite hooker but just as pleasurable. You get a strong, full bodied Porter and out of nowhere it transforms into a subtle smokey flavor reminiscent of a Rauchbier. If you listen closely you can hear the brew mockingly declare, "surprise bitches!" Although not for sissies, this beer is just a stones throw from perfect. 4.9 out of 5. Drink it.

Oh, and drink it I will! Rauchbier is one of my favorites, amongst the brotherhood of beers, although around here I believe its availability is seasonal.

Oooh, I do love a good beer.

When is it available over there? Fall/Winter? They are hard to track down here but you can find them year round. You might try asking your local beer shop. You may find they have the option of carrying them and they don't because they don't think anyone will buy them.
