Brian’s Birthday was last week. We took over a six pack of beer, but not just any beer. A 1996, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 Alaskan Smoked Porter! That emptied out the beer cellar. But there are rumors that the Alaskan Brewery is selling some of the older smoked porters every now and then–Torsten and I stopped by yesterday with no luck, but we’ll keep trying. Brian let us share the 1996 and compare it with the 2004. I really was impressed with the 1996. No hop at all, but really complex, delicious, good smoked, earthy, yummy taste!
