Reviewing the Smoked Chocolate Coffee Porter from Haymarket Pub and Brewery out of Chicago, Illinois. In case the name of the beer was not descriptive enough, this beer is a smoked porter with coffee and chocolate.Score: 90
Tap pour served in a taster glass and enjoyed on 01/12/14 at Haymarket's anniversary party
Appearance: Cloudy and murky dark brown in color. Served with no head. No lacing or retention. 2/5
Smell: Smoked coffee and bakers chocolate on the nose. Less smoke than first strike, and doesn't smell straight up like bacon like first. 4.25/5
Taste: Tastes exactly like it smells, but less chocolatey. Mostly roast, smoke and chocolate. Good balance. 4.25/5
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus bodied, slightly under carbonated. Nice smokiness and roast bitter mix. 3.5/5
Overall: A nice smoke beer from a local bar. I would buy another if available next time I stop in.
Cost: $2 for a 4 oz pour, $6 for a 12 oz pour.
