Smoke Them if you've got 'Em

Intrigued by the history of London Porter - particularly brown malt (a traditional wood smoked malt) being a significant part of the grain bill, and after tasting our efforts having brewed a great session Porter, we decided to up the smoke!

Inspired by an Alasakan Smoked Porter http://www.alaskanbeer.com/smoked-porter.html and in the American tradition of making everything big, we upped the smoke, and everything else...
