Can we talk about Porters? (A Beer Thread)

I like most beer styles. Porter is one of the exceptions. To my palate it tastes like wine-infused beer. Have never cared for it.

Slight hijack, but is there a beer style you’ve like in the past, but have now grown tired of it?

I used to love IPAs. But I find myself drinking less and less of them. Nowadays I prefer the lighter and slightly sweeter beers. Still love stout, though. (Just wish it wasn’t so caloric.)

Crafter - Guinness is relatively low calorie.

Here’s a list: WastedCalories.com is for sale | HugeDomains

I used to enjoy Mackeson Triple Stout, but haven’t seen it for sale for a long time.

Any of the new brews comparable?

I’m on the south side of Atlanta if that helps to name a brand.

Well, I use to drink a lot of Molson Golden, Molson Canadian Lager & Labatt’s Blue. Generic Canadian lagers that are in green glass bottles to make it worse. My taste has changed with the years and I really don’t enjoy these any more.

Heck, it’s on the level of some light beers, with fewer calories than a Michelob Light. Guinness Draught is my beer of choice when I’m trying to watch my weight.

I’ve never thought Guinness tasted nearly as good as other stouts…I wonder if that’s why.
