Description:
Our Gold Medal Winner took first in the Smoked Beer category at the 2004 Great American Beer Festival®. This is a robust porter with a black mahogany color, brewed with sixty-three percent Bamberg Smoked Malt. The malty sweetness and burnt chocolate undertones balance the bitterness of the hops and the smoky flavor and aroma to make this a wonderfully complex porter.

Varietal Definition
Porter:
Porters are red-brown to black in color, medium to medium-full bodied, and characterized by a flavor profile that can vary from very subtle dark malts to fully roasted, smoky flavors. Being a centuries old style, there are differences of opinion with regard to what a "true" porter was actually like and there can be wide variations from one brewer’s interpretation to the next. Roasted malt should provide the flavoring character, rather than roasted barley as is used with stouts. Stronger, darker versions and lighter more delicate versions are equally valid manifestations of the style. The influence of hops can often be notable in the richer craft brewed examples of the style.
