pay the ferryman porter

(frank)ing mexican beer. (says cerveceria mexicana, whoever they are)

twist off cap and all

cool skull though.

anyway, i suppose the last thing you'd ever expect a mexican porter (of all things) to be is great. surprisingly, this is actually pretty good though. it doesn't taste like corona with coffee at all.

it's kind of chocalatey. not spectacular or anything, that'd be crazy. but it's not terrible. doesn't drink like a porter but it smells like one. i won't go out of my way looking for this again but i wouldn't turn one down or anything.

Is that your bar?

went to the store.

fullers london porter
victory storm king imperial stout
river horse oatmeal milk stout
innis & gunn scottish porter
new holland dragons milk
and a sierra nevada porter cause it's a proven winner.


also one more pumpkin beer:
dogfish head punkin ale




btw, i see now that there's apparently a regular dragon's milk and a dragon's milk bourbon barrel stout? which did you guys get? mine says bourbon barrel stout.

i look forward to your london porter impressions

the 4 pack of london porter came with a little half pint glass here recently. cool glass. i dont think i'll ever use it though. too small.

there was also this 1 quart bottle of something called mississippi mud black & tan. the bottle looked fun to me but i felt like it definitely was gonna be bad for some reason so i didn't buy it.

I tend to assume that with fancy bottles too. It's like they know their beer is garbage so they have to make the bottle as cool as possible in order to fool people into buying it.

That's not actually how it works but I refuse to buy them just in case.

i tried to google up a good beer with "mud" in the name and it was difficult.

so fair point

drinking the london porter right now and it actually gave me goosebumps.

to me, it's perfect. there may be better porters but this is exactly what i think a porter should be. the chocolate smell the chocolate taste, the coffee, the perfect amount of sweetness without being overwhelmed by sweetness, the drinkability.

accompanied by the original layla coming on the ipod at the exact time. that could only help anything, right? (i will put it in the song thread cause it belongs there, although ironically i just put clapton in there less than an hour ago)

anyway, this is one of the tops for me so far as far as porters go (and i think that's my favorite style of beer). i wish i'd bought more than one.

i will definitely try some others because this was delicious and i just read on the back of the bottle that this guy (i think it says anthony) hopes i will enjoy trying all of his fine ales.

nice, glad you like it.

as far as porters/stouts that come in under 5.5% go london porter is god-tier. ridiculously good for such a sessionable beer.
