Kilkenny is good too, its mainly made for export and is very different from country to country, when Ive had it at home in ireland its been more like a stout but in poland, belgium and the netherlands it is more like an ale Ive been drinking guinness a bit lately, depends on the pub though, too much variation in styles of pouring and the taps make a huge difference too, then again when every pub in the country servers it there will always be somewhere with a good pint.

I bought a case of it a few years back for about $120 with shipping. It is quite possibly one of my all-time favorites. @Bill:

Great stuff. I lived in Alaska for 11 years, and my personal favorite porter is Alaskan Smoked Porter. When I moved back to CT I never thought I would find it again until I randomly found it in a liquor store in Mass. If you haven't tried it yet, I suggest giving it a go. It has just the right amount of smoke in it and the flavor of the wood they use to smoke their barley is great. There's just enough of it in there, so that it's not overpowering. Once again, this beer guide is great, and I look forward to seeing more entries! What ever happened to this beer guide? Great stuff.

Those are both GREAT brews. If any of you out there in nerddom can find Southern Tier's Chokolat stout PLEASE buy it and drink it. Their flagship brews are not that great, but the 22 oz bottles they serve up have never let me down and this stout may be the best chocolate stout i've ever had. OH, Harpoon's Leviathan series Baltic Porter is also a new fav. Peace and food and drink and merriness DM @Declan

A blog about beer and only two comments (and one of those from the blogger himself). Nerdtastic article to say the least, but you forgot about my personal favourites, Smithwicks and Murphy's Irish.

The stout, dark brew made for men like Bruce Campbell. Beer, the greatest thing to happen to the world since cooking. Why has no one commented yet, its porter man.
