Porters
 

I was surprised tonight at the liquor store. As a beer lover, and while trying to figure out which 6 pack of beer to pick up, I noticed in the top corner a beer I had not seen before. Michelob Porter.

I have never had a porter beer before, and was very surprised by the delicious taste that hit my palate. I tasted hints of nuts, caramel, chocolate, and espresso in every sip.

Before I realized it the 6 pack was gone, and I was at a loss... :(

So I went back to the liquor store and picked up another 6 pack just to be sure. I am almost done with the 2nd 6 pack and love this new sensation in my mouth. What is this Porter that I have been missing out on?

What is your favorite "Porter" style beer?

Not Michelob. :r

Rogue XS Imperial Porter
Rogue Mocha Porter

Re: Porters
 

I'm with Tom and the Founders Porter. It's a stellar porter. Also, Dark Horse Reserve Special Black is outstanding.:tu

Re: Porters
 

I will have to give the Dark Horse a try, Nate. :tu

My favorite 3 porters are Founders Porter, Deschutes Black Butte, and Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald. Not sure where you're located in SD, but if you're in the SFalls area it may be worth a drive over to MN. All 3 are available here.

Re: Porters
 

Warren, is the Black Butte an organic Porter?

Re: Porters
 

I enjoy Rogue Mocha Porter

Re: Porters
 

Tom, it does not appear to be organic. But, it is highly tastey. Here is a link to the Black Butte page on their website.

Some porters that make my rotation quite often:

Bell's
Founder's
Duck Rabbit

Re: Porters
 

Smuttynose Robust porter, Anchor Steam Porter, and Sinebrychoff Porter are probably my three favs.

Re: Porters
 

I will add:
Central Waters Mudpuppy Porter
Ale Asylum Contorter Porter
Lake Louie Tommy's Porter
Three Floyds Topless Wytch

Re: Porters
 

Black Butte :tu

Re: Porters
 

Some good ones listed here. The two that really turned me on to this style years ago were Anchor Porter and Abita Turbodog (although not technically a porter, it's a great beer with a similar profile especially if you like the chocolate/nutty/espresso.)

Re: Porters
 

I've tried so many I've loved & never remember the names. But one in particular I really enjoy is a local microbrew here in Richmond, VA. Legend Porter.

Re: Porters
 

Sam Smith Taddy Porter, Yards General Washington Tavern Porter, and the Yuengling Porter ain't too bad either.

Re: Porters
 

Black Butte is a hard to come by porter. It is from Eugene Oregon. When I went to visit my friend in school, it was on tap everywhere. Wonderful stuff. Trader Joe's say they carry it, but the one in GA does not. I am still on the look out.:confused:


And yes I believe it is organic.
