Joe and Caroline drink porters while discussing the history of the style.

What We Are Drinking

Nutcase Peanut Butter Porter
Listermann Brewing Company - Norwood, Ohio
ABV: 6.8%

2014 Bronze Medal
2018 Gold Medal

Sweet Baby Java
Espresso Beans infused chocolate peanut butter porter
Duclaw Brewing Company - Baltimore, MD
ABV: 6.2%

"Our single bestselling beer of all time, Sweet Baby Jesus! Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter, Hop Gunned with cold-steeped, whole bean espresso to infuse it’s iconic, lightly sweet chocolate and peanut butter flavor and aroma with warm notes of coffee… without any additional bitterness! One sip of Sweet Baby Java and you’ll wonder, “Where has this bean all my life?”

Krampus Coal
Baltic-style porter with whole vanilla beans
West Side Brewing - Westwood, Ohio
ABV: 7.8%
IBUs: 39

"Black with a tan head, this Baltic Porter has rich aromas of chocolate and vanilla. The flavor is more of the same, with a slight note of roast rounding it out. Thanks to the addition of whole vanillla beans, a strong vanilla flavor carries throughout the beer as it finishes on the sweeter side with just enough hop bitterness to keep it from being cloying."

The Best of Times
BBQ Rub Porter Brewed with Coffee and Cayenne
Great Lakes Brewing - Cleveland Ohio
Fifty West Brewing - Cincinnati Ohio
ABV: 6.7%

"Inspired by the foundational ingredients of a BBQ Rub, these flavors helps embellish and exemplify the smoke and umami of barbecued meat. Expect this Robust Porter to exude notes of cocoa, caramel and roast while our “rub” elements of coffee and cayenne help build and amplify the intensity. "
