A rich, dark and delicious porter with chocolate and coffee overtones accented by a subtle smokiness from just the right amount of peat smoked malt. Unlike a rauchbier, the "smoke" in Stone Smoked Porter is an ELEMENT of the character rather than being THE character. -- Greg Koch, Stone Brewing Co.

Most of what we think of as a Porter beer in America is actually a Robust Porter, by definition. Examples of Robust Porters would be Bell's Porter, Rogue Mocha Porter, Anchor Porter and there are many other American versions. Robust Porters are generally a little stronger and more bitter than their English counterparts, as American brewers and drinkers tend to prefer hoppier beers.
