Porter Appreciation Thread (2025)

So, working at a local event my local brewery, Gravel Bottom Brewery began some 10 years ago now and I had the pleasure of serving their excellent porter, Rix Robinson, to the masses.
This batch is better than either Founder’s or Bell’s porters, so smooth and chocolate forward with just enough coffee to keep it from being too sweet. Just a great porter.
Cheers!

 

Last of the Black Butte Porters. Nice beer.
Cheers!

Ghost Town - Ossuary - Robust Porter

 

Picked up a 6 pack of this last Saturday! Can’t be beat!

 

I’ve always heard good things about this beer, but have never had it until now. Fantastic stuff- it rivals the classics from Great Lakes and Deschutes. I’ll need to try a side by side. What a great reason to drink more porter!

Spiteful- God Damn Pigeon Porter

 

I’m ashamed to say I didn’t know this thread existed. I had a very good (IMHO) porter today while on a work trip to Orlando.

Pours a dark mahogany brown with a creamy tan head that lingers and provides ropes of lacing. Beautiful porter.

The nose features roasty malts, some coffee, and a bit of caramel, all of which are replicated on the taste. Delicious.

The mouthfeel is surprisingly rich and creamy. This is really good, IMHO, and a beer I’d have in my beer fridge on the regular if I had access to it.

 

C’mon, admit it. That’s not really a humble opinion. Ha!

 

I bought a 6 pack of this recently, so I’m going to be posting many of these!

 

Another. I’m almost through this 6 pack.

 

Was thing of you @Braunmeister_1943 when having this amazing offering the The Old Justice Pub in Bermondsey

 

Fuck me, I’m jealous, I wish I was in England drinking real ale, but you gotta get some Landlord, especially before you have another chocolate stout or black IPA!

 

I asked the guy at pub about it and he laughed and said , " oh you're lookin for the Timmy Ts?!?! The Timmy Ts are ya? 85% of places that serve it atore it like shite and the other 15% aren't worth going to"
If i come across it , i still haven't cuz im stayin away from the touristy areas which seem to be where they have it( The Harp in Covent Garden and them[that area is a shit show] ) I'll try it but I've had about 5 or 6 other Milds, Smalls and Bitters that i haven't posted . The Black IPA i had on cask has definitely been one of the highlights though..

 

Nice! I have had a few beers from the Kernel. Not this one. Looks like you’re having a great time! Are you there for work or pleasure?
