A porter is pretty much the same thing as a stout except it doesn't have the inclusion of roasted barley - and this is the best one according to ratebeer so lets see how this works out.
The brew pours black with a small caramel colored head that quickly fades into little to nothing, but the good lacing and small/tight carbonation makes up for it. The smell is of chocolate, brown sugar, coffee - much sweeter than a stout or even an imperial stout. Very malty. The taste is strong and powerful - alcohol, brown sugar, caramel, chocolate, and very slight bitterness at the end. The taste is almost exactly how I would imagine an imperial stout but without the presence of roasted bitterness in the aftertaste. I have to say, I'm a big fan of porters after having this.
