    Ben's Raspberry Porter, 5.6% ABV. Pours black with a nice one-finger dense beige head that left decent lacing. Aroma is raspberry and roast malt. Taste is raspberry, more bitter than sweet. OK mouthfeel, overall very good.

    Had this a few nights ago. Side Project Brewing Vertical Ascent Robust Porter.

    Was waiting for @Braunmeister_1943 to start this one up so thank you @bbtkd! I almost started it myself but 1) I am far from a porter aficionado and 2) didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes. Cheers!!

    I’ve been too busy, lazy, tired to start any threads, Zach! That being said, I will be posting here frequently in the near future!

    Glad to be joining in the thread so early this year. As it warms up, this turns into a nice porter. Good smooth feel too makes it a pleasure to drink.

    Cheers!

    Absolutely. I tend to give it a try straight from the fridge and then let it sit for a little during the winter when the house is cold and it takes some time to warm. If I had a better cellar for beers, I'd probably drink everything at cellar temp all winter. Hope to see you sharing some porters soon!

    Well that couldn’t wait so Guinness West Indies Porter now.

    It’s a very good one, and the best to be found for the style in any supermarkets or groceries here.

    What's the ABV? Is that the same as the beer we see in the US labeled as Foreign Export Stout? Same yellow color scheme for the label

    6% ABV, I’m now also told it’s near unavailable in the US?

    They had a mixed pack it was available in many years back. I think it was the Extra Stout, the Antwerpen Stout, the West Indies Porter and a "Dublin Porter" I still keep the bottle of the last one for display at my home bar.
