American / Robust Porter
Anchor Porter
| User Rating: |
In the midst of sampling their Christmas Ale (’99-’11 vertical) I took a break to indulge on this wonderfully crafted dark ale. I’ve had this beer before, but it has been a few years since. I wanted to revisit it for a few reasons: 1) it is good beer and 2) it is a great ... [Read more]
Founders Porter
| User Rating: |
Michael: A simple name, practically boldly so. No barrel aged, no catchy alliteration, just plain porter. But this one from Founders is anything but a run-of-the-mill brew. Again, upon suggestion of one of the beer guys at the local liquor store, I am sampling a porter, not one of my usual favorite styles. After the ... [Read more]
Arcadia Ales Barrel Aged Shipwreck Porter
| User Rating: |
Michael: I have grown to love barrel aged beers. I’m practically a sucker for them. Barrel aged Bud Light Lime, you say? Mmm, sounds great I’ll have two! Oh it’s so complex, so subtle, what a groundbreaking brew! Ok, I’m definitely not that bad, but I have indeed enjoyed barrel aged beers more and more, ... [Read more]
Emmett’s Robust Porter
| User Rating: |
First off, I’m not a huge porter fan. That was, until this porter hit my unsuspecting tongue. In general, porters are a bit weak for me, I like big, smooth and robust and typically the porter just doesn’t hit those notes for me. This one, however, is a whole different story. As I said, robust ... [Read more]
Samuel Adams Holiday Porter
| User Rating: |
Three weeks ago I got my first Christmas present. A little early perhaps, but a gift it was. Mr. Sam Adams decided to allow me to purchase his 24 bottle Holiday Sampler pack for $20.99. For less than $1 a bottle, I stocked my fridge for at least, well, a week or two. So today, ... [Read more]
Summit Imperial Pumpkin Porter
| User Rating: |
Michael: A few months ago a couple of PHM reviewers and I toured St. Paul’s very own Summit Brewing Co. A beautiful facility and an informative tour, it all ended with a few sample pints poured Summit’s very own brewmasters. We spoke with one of them, who we soon found out was next in line ...

Deschutes Black Butte XXI Porter
| User Rating: |
John: I kept this baby in the darkness of my wine cellar (on a basement shelf ) for one year. It about killed me not to drink it in the first two weeks. After that I forgot about it until I noticed a Post It note on it with the date! The time had come ... [Read more]
O’so Night Train Oatmeal Porter
| User Rating: |
I spent ten hours of my Saturday pursuing the darkest of beers. Dark Lord Day 2010 proved to be an adventurous, exciting, crowded, collaborative, craft beer-filled day. Coming down from the high of scoring four of my very own Dark Lord bombers, my sleepy Sunday afternoon needed a dark brew accompaniment. I had purchased this ... [Read more]
Deschutes Black Butte Porter
| User Rating: |
This was a $2.99! When I bought it from John at Dennis Brothers I looked at the receipt and told him there must be a mistake. No mistake. A 22 oz great porter for under $3. I lean toward the stout side of beers but liked this anyway. It is a “stout light”. It pours ... [Read more]
