Anyone tried Alaskan Smoked Porter?
There were a few bottles in my local supermarket, but at the equivalant of $5.50 per bottle, it seems rather pricey & perhaps not worth the risk. Instead I bought a couple of spring brews from the UK - Shepherd Neame 'Early Bird' & Bateman's 'Spring Breeze'.

Perhaps we could have a thread of beer reviews as there seem to be enough people here with adventurous tastebuds to warrant such a thread.

Woody, Alaskan Smoked Porter is great, but you have to like Smoked beers. Have you tried any German rauchbiers, or have an afinity for some of the smokier of the single malts? It's 1 of the best smoked/smoke-flavored beers in the world, it's won 11 medals @ the Great American Beer Festival (mostly Gold), a Bronze & a Silver @ the Brewing Industry International Awards in Burton-on-Trent, and 2 sivers & a gold medal at the World Beer Cup.
