Day 159-Beert 159 Blacksmith Smoked Porter, Highlander Brew Co. South River Ontario

Tonight's brew poured black in colour with a light milk chocolate head that left some lacing that did stick to the sides of the glass. The first whiff certainly hinted of a smoky hardwood fire with undertones of caramel malt, dark chocolate and burnt coffee.  The taste was dark chocolate, caramel and toffee malts, espresso coffee. Unfortunately the taste buds did not detect the nice smoke that my nose detected. Overall a tasty porter that unfortunately was missing the smoke in its name. 3.8 out of 5.
