Stouts and Porters to try

I think they do it like a wild ale, open vats and all. It's different every time I get it as well, and I think it's due to spontaneous fermentation.

Tastes Belgian to me!

 

My favorites:

Sam Smith oatmeal stout or taddy porter or Brown ale
Smuttynose Robust Porter
St. Peters Porter
Entire Butt English Porter
Founders porter or russian imperial stout or breakfast stout
Ipswich oatmeal stout
Anchor Porter
Wolavers oatmeal stout

 

That stuff is disgusting. Way too much artificial sweetness

 

It's very good!

 

Port City's Porter is rated as "exceptional," and it's a local!

 

Black Butte Porter by Deschutes is really good

 

Hoppin Frog BORIS The Crusher is awesome

 

I'm seeing a lot of stuff I like here.

 

Arcadia's Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout. It's a great beer, but a little pricey (~$8 for a 12oz). Chris from Craft Beer Temple did a bourbon barrel blind tasting with this beer, Dark Horse BA Plead the 5th, Founders KBS, Goose Island BCS, Central Waters BBS, and Bell's Black Note. Arcadia's BBA Imperial Stout was his favorite. Cheers.

 

I'm not in the mood to comment on Stouts but as far as Porters go I can recommend several:

American Porters
Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald
Founders
Anchor
Sierra Nevada

English Porters
Fuller's London Porter
Sam Smith's Taddy Porter
Old Growler
St Peter's Old Style Porter

Porters are probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite style. I love Porter.

 

If you can get your hands on a bottle of Mayflower Porter you will be a happy, happy person.

 

Just had an Evil Twin "Lil' B" strong porter - think mocha latte with a lot of alcohol - fantastic dessert beer.

 

Getting into stouts, you might wanna go with some sweet stouts, like Left Hand's Milk Stout, Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat, and Lugene Chocolate Milk Stout from Odell.

 

Deschutes Black Butte Porter is another solid one.

I think North Coast Old Rasputin and Stone IRS are a couple good, go-to Russian imperial stouts. And as previously mentioned, Great Divide's Oak Aged Yeti (regular, espresso, and chocolate) are stouts that get my vote.

 

Nice work! Solid recommendations.

 

I have to go with Southern Tier 2X Stout

 

Stone IRS should be out soon... One of my personal favorites.

 

my fav stouts so far (yes, im a noob): Southern Tier Jahva, FBS, FIS in that order
A46er I dig that one too
Porters: Black Butte, Founders in that order

 

All of them!!!!

 

I see that you are from Virginia and i just had a Port City Porter last night and it was a solid brew and with you being in VA it should be a easy find hope that helps.

Cheers
