[melloman45]

Brian it's espresso not expresso.

I think this a poor review sorry just saying

[AgileHProductions]

@beaubicknese Any thing we could do to improve it?

[nypoet22]

this is an interesting review. i haven't tried this beer, and i'm not sure whether or not any distributors in miami (my place of residence) carry it. I'm generally a fan of porters, so if i can find it i'd like to give this a try. i'd be very curious to hear your opinions on Okocim porter, which is one of my favorites.

@nypoet22 It's a small brewery so they may not have made it to Miami yet. I was surprised to find it in Ohio. Pretty good beer though.

I didn't get the smokey flavor being overwhelming at all...it IS a simple brew, dark and roasty, with just a HINT of smoke....I REALLY had to concentrate to find the smoke in it at all?

I'd give it a 7 as well.

[AgileHProductions]

@bmeyer44 Do you wish that it would have been smokier?

[bmeyer44]

@AgileHProductions perhaps just a bit...but it would have to be very slight as smoke flavor can overpower quickly.

O'Fallon makes great beer. I haven't had one yet that hasn't impressed.

[AgileHProductions]

@rvdsm I just had O'Fallen Hemp Hop Rye last night. That was only my second O'Fallen brew, but it was pretty tasty too. I can't say that I could taste the hemp seed.

Never heard of it. I'm not a big fan of smokey beers in general. Porters, though, I tend to like.

[AgileHProductions]

@Chad9976 if you don't like smokey beers then you won't like this one. I thought it was pretty tasty. Would like to try some of their other beers.

I stand corrected. It was Merv.

Is that the Mike Douglas set from Seinfeld?

[AgileHProductions]

No. Its a rental from al-jazeera. (By the way, I believe its the merv griffin set - one of my favorite episodes)
