Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter. 5% ABV. From a brewery dating back to 1758 in Tadcaster, Yorkshire. If you want a porter that isn't flying off into chocolate, coffee, peanut butter, coconut, or whatnot... this one is really good. It took me a while to get into it, because I apparently haven't had a good just-plain porter in a while. A 93=Outstanding, 4.19/5 on Beer Advocate.

I think porters are overlooked because of stouts.

Haven't tried to many of them so have to investigate further. Don't mind Baltika 6.

One of the first porters I ever had, way back in the day.

No good? Just realised haven't had any beer for two weeks.

Drought broke.

Monteith's black. Think it's a stout.

Very smooth not to overpowering quite liked it.

And a fruity pilsner.

And 6 year old nephew hitting the hard stuff. Strawberry milkshake.

Delicious, as you'd expect.

Dogfish Head Campfire Amplifier - a s'mores inspired Milk Stout. 6.5 ABV. They advertise it as "brewed with marshmallows, graham crackers, cocoa nibs, cinnamon, Madagascar vanilla beans and smoked malt." I can tell the cocoa and I think the vanilla, the rest all kind of blends together. It seems light for a stout, and the flavors almost come together as artificial tasting, but just miss being too much so. It's pretty good. Beer Advocate has it as "Very Good" 88% and 3.92/5.

Would give that a shot.

Nothing to exciting for decades we only had one lager option.

This is the "pure" version. Not to bad. Vaguely similar to a Heineken.

Better than expected but just a beer.

Beer advocate had it lol, 71.
