| Enjoying Calvin and Hobbes WAY more than the beer. |
Dark beers are probably my favorite style of beer. Porters and stouts, especially. Specifically, I have found porters to be the most enjoyable of the dark beers that I regularly enjoy. Until lately, that is.
For some reason, smoked porters have become popular. I first tried a
mesquite smoked porter, thinking it would be killer. Well, it killed my pallet for smoked porters, for sure. It was quite an experience, but I decided to end my closed-mindedness, and gave Ass Kisser a try.

| Calvin and Susie: A better love story than smoke and porters. |
Ass Kisser pours quite dark, with a surprisingly light-cream head that fades quickly. The nose is that of smoke and alcohol, and that is not nearly as appealing as it sounds. Think moonshine tire-fire. When taking a sip, the potent smell blinds you to the taste of this beer. After taking a long pull, you realize that you are drinking alcoholic liquid smoke. At 8%ABV, it is very potent and has crazy smokiness. I cannot honestly tell you what type of smoke it is, but it is unpleasant, to say the least. That's a shame, but smoked porters are out. This porter can, in fact, kiss MY ass.
