Dark Horse - Fore Smoked Stout
Fore Smoked Stout is a 7% ABV smoked beer by Dark Horse from Marshall, MI. This is the fourth of five in their Holiday Stout Series.
This smoked stout pours jet black with a half finger tan brown head that fades quickly. Lacing is pretty non-existant in this brew.
Fore Smoked Stout smells of light roast and smoke with subtle dark fruit. There's also aromas of coffee and chocolate with some caramel.
In the taste, there's medium smokiness with coffee, dark chocolate, and tobacco. Very subtle caramel and dark fruit. Medium bodied with a semi-dry and smoky syrupy/oily finish.
Fore Smoked Stout is a solid representation of the style. Nothing feels overpowering which is good especially as too much smokiness can sometimes be overwhelming. This is probably my third favorite in the Dark Horse Holiday Stout Series after Tres Blueberry and One Oatmeal. It's definitely worth sipping on if you enjoy smoked beers and stouts.
Score: 4/5 (Untappd Caps)
