In Reply To #1 I'd reccommend Sammuel Smith's taddy Porter as well. After reading the posts I want to try Magic Hat

Try a Yuengling Porter out of PA.

I found a new porter (new to me anyway) that is really good....Aldaris Porteris......I think it's actually better than Baltika...It's richer and a little stronger.....See my review on this one....Oh by the way, Aldaris is from Latvia!....Good drinking! Oiz

Baltic porters (which may be bottom fermented): I'd highly recommend Sinebrychoff Porter (Finland, available in the US). Excellent! Carnegie Stark Porter (Sweden, also available in the US) is very good too. Three Danish ones ("porter" and "stout" are used interchangably there) are Carls Porter (Carlsberg), Limfjordsporter Double Brown Stout (Thisted Bryghus) and Ceres Royal Stout - they are all worth sampling, but may be difficult (or impossible) to find in the US. Aldaris Porteris (Latvia) is decent too, but not quite as good as the above IMO. A.Le Coq Jõuluporter is a decent Christmas porter from Estonia, but their ordinary Porter is less interesting. The only American Porter I've had is Anchor Porter, which is very good. If you want an English porter (after all, they invented it!), Nethergate Old Growler is available in the US.

In Reply To #20 I was disappointed by Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter. The saltiness I got in the bottles I've tried (probably caused by high phosphate content in their water) was not to my liking.

The only Porter I've ever had is Pot Hole Porter from elm street Brewery in Keene, NH. While they do have some good beers I don't recomend the Pot hole Porter. It was almost black and tasted like it was scopped out of a pothole-go figure.

I didn't see that Sierra Nevada porter got much attention here; I think that it's excelent and very easy to drink... well by porter standards at least.

Stone Smoked porter is pretty good if you can get it in your area. Cooperstown Brewery make a porter called bench warmer. Its on my list to try

May I recomend Saranac's Caramel Porter. It's not everyones cup o tea but it is a true delight to me. The Caramel really does the porter justice

In Reply To #1 Oh baby baby, I tried a new one...Fuller's London Porter!...Ouch is this one soooth like butter....like a milk stout....outstatnding...read my review and give this one a try, you can't go wrong here!...
