    Bell’s > Eddy Fitz > Founders. Bell’s has more of a char bite in your face. EF is in the middle, and Founders is smooth, creamy, and a touch sweeter. Used to say sexy on the bottle. IMO.

    Forgot to post yesterday's porter. Way too much coconut for me. Without it, this would have been a good, albeit sweet, porter. The oats gave it a full and smooth feel.

    Overall, a good beer, maple syrup, vanilla, coffee, hint of cinnamon. Not bad, but just a little muted, could stand a bit more punch.

    Hello again, I’ve actually had a couple porters recently, I just forgot to mention them here. Or anywhere actually.
    But this one I remembered!
