When I began my beer year, I was no big fan of porters, but by this time in my beer year, I've had enough (the count says 15 at the time I drank this one, probably 25 by the time of writing) that I've developed a reasonable taste for them. I've had the microbrew everybody recommends (Black Butte Porter) and a pretty good selection of variations on the theme.
But of all the porters I've had, this is my favorite. The flavors are bold and the texture is silky. None of that stankiness you often get with imported beers. You know what I'm talking about. This is just a purely great tasting beer with strong malts and just enough hops to keep it from sagging at the back end. This is one of those beers I probably commented seven or eight times, "I really like this beer," and was very sad when I finished it. I really wished I'd picked up a six pack.
