Smoke Jumping

You see the glass of liquid in the picture, which can only mean one thing: another beer review.  Today's beer comes from the Left Hand Brewing Company and is called the Smoke Jumper.  It is an Imperial Porter and has an 8.8% ABV.  As you can guess from the color, there are expectations already for this beer, and the smell is quite promising, with a smoky smell to it.  The initial taste doesn't quite live up to expectations, but it is the aftertaste that will get the drinker.  As the beer warms up, more of the flavor gets released, making it more of a wine in terms of getting better with time.  The Smoke Jumper is alright, but you would be best to sip slowly and let it warm up a little for best enjoyment.
