Favorite Stout/Porter
 

So I've been on a stout/porter kick lately, buying and trying as many different ones as I can, and figured I'd see what all my fellow BOTLs enjoy in that style. My favorites so far have been Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout by North Coast Brewery and Young's Double Chocolate Stout from Wells & Youngs.

So what's your favorite go to stout or porter? Which ones are worth seeking out and which ones should be skipped?

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout. An oldie but a goodie.

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

It won't help you too much, but my favorite porter is our own homebrew porter. I'm not much of a porter fan but we happen to make a wonderful porter.

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

:tpd:

But then again we don't have so many different stouts/porters here. I also really like 'Jopen Koyt' (Dutch beer). Although I am not sure it is a stout or porter (it is a dark beer though).

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

Well, looks like I've got quite a few to search out. Thanks for the recommendations guys. :tu

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

New Holland The Poet - I've been picking these up quiet often lately. I mix in a few other stouts but this one seems to be getting poured more than others.

[not my photo but that is the same glass I drink mine out of as well]

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

Founder's Breakfest Stout, which also just hit stores!

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

I recently heard of Founders CBS, Canadian Breakfast Stout. KBS that's further aged in barrels used to age maple syrup. Friends of mine tried it recently. Said it was life changing.

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

I'd have to say Oddjob was my favorite stout porter. A real killer.

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

My wishlist has just expanded greatly....thanks gents

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

Yeah, KBS is all the rave seems like. I've had it. Cannot say I'm a fan. But I don't really like any bourbon finished beers. I think the 2 are perfect on their own.

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

Fuller London Porter, if you find it on draft even better:dr

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

Flat 12 Bierwerks Pogues run porter
3rd shift Lager
Black Boss Porter
Bad Elmer Porter
New Belgium Portage Porter

Never been much of a stout fan the flavor profile even for milk stouts just dont seem to set right with me

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

Its about that time of the year.

Of corse, Stone RIS
Duck Rabbit Baltic Porter
Victory Storm King

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

Local watering hole is tapping a keg of Southern Tier Warlock on October 9th. Looks like I have a date after work that night.

Re: Favorite Stout/Porter
 

Life changing is a great way to describe it. That one is very high up on my list of best beers I've ever tried, only had a few opportunities but I never turn one down :tu

To add to this list, my favorite regular production "no frills" porter is Port City Porter, it's a local brewery from Alexandria VA and it is awesome. They just won best small brewing company at GABF last weekend. If you can find it pick it up

PErosnal Favorite is Dragons Milk, and Dark Heart from Magic Hat
