After really not liking them for a couple of years, I have recently fallen in love with porters. Not sure why, maybe because they are 19th century London invention and I love this the era, maybe because all microbreweries in the states are trying hard on them or maybe I just wanted a change from overly hopped IPA's. Either way, this is actually a British recreation of old-style porter. The back says: "This beer is blend of old mature ale and a younger light beer just like true porter should be." Fair enough, always new things to learn. Incidentally I also learned that stout it is really just a short for stout porter - a really strong porter. Dublin, I am coming...
