Flavor Profile and Aroma:
Bold smoke leads the charge—think alder-wood campfire—followed by layers of dark chocolate, roasted malt, subtle licorice, and hints of dried fruit. The aroma is deeply smoky yet balanced with cocoa and espresso undertones.

Appearance:
Deep ebony black with ruby edges when held to light. A dense, cappuccino-colored head crowns the pour, leaving thick, lingering lacing.

Mouthfeel:
Full-bodied and velvety with moderate carbonation. The smoke lingers warmly on the palate, while smooth malt sweetness rounds out the finish.

Story and Accolades:
First released in 1988, Alaskan Smoked Porter is one of the most award-winning beers of all time and a pioneer of modern smoked beer in the U.S. Brewed using traditional Alaskan alder-smoked malts, it’s known for its remarkable ability to age, developing sherry-like, rich, complex flavors over time. Revered by collectors and beer geeks alike, it’s a true American craft classic.

Food Pairings:
Perfect with smoked brisket, grilled salmon, sausages, aged cheddar, mushroom dishes, hearty stews, and dark chocolate desserts. It also pairs exceptionally well with campfire cooking and BBQ nights.
