About Smokejumper Smoked Imperial Porter
As the “Official Beer of the National Smokejumper Association”, this truly hand-crafted smoked imperial porter is made with hot and cold-smoked barley malt using a combination of several hardwoods. Roasty black in color, the long-lingering smokiness wraps around flavors of sweet molasses, toasted malt and an earthy hoppiness. The beer is full-bodied, black with garnet undertones in color, and 9.2% alcohol by volume. It will be available in 750 milliliter silk-screened Belgian beer bottles and kegs in Colorado, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
