Considering Porters are not really my style, I decided to get adventurous and try the offering from Sierra Nevada. Sierra’s Porter, not to be confused with their Exporter, comes in at pleasant 5.6% ABV in a short 12oz bottle. I’ve had plenty of their brews before, so hopefully this is just as good.
I loved things that are smoked, whether it’s fish, beef, or drink. Smoking, or creating the taste of smoking adds a really pleasant element to the food or drink. This is especially true of darker beers, so doing a Smoked Porter just makes sense. While Stone may not be the only brewery doing this, it’s their beer that I have to drink today.
This review is pretty special in that it’s our very first homebrew review. Peter from Simply Beer was kind enough to send us a sample of his decadent homebrewed Peanut Butter Porter. When I first heard about this, it sounded absolutely delicious. A fan of peanut butter, I had to give this a try. The Peanut Butter Porter comes in at 10.5% ABV.
