A friend's homebrew.
That looks delicious
Six Point Puff Double IPA. It's a mouthful of hops.
Mouthful of hops in a good way?
Did you like it? Reaching for the last one in the fridge now...Puff the Magic Dragon sipped by the sea (vacation Cape Cod)
Love me some Founder's Porter. Nice and roasty and hoppy... Everyone is surprised I've unlocked more malty badges on untappd than IPA/Pale badges because I can be such a hop head but a good dark beer will outshine the over-hopped megaliths that have become the meta.Went with a 6 of Founder's Porter from the local craft beer bar. They had Delerium Red on the shelf. I can't see messing with a near perfect beer, so I passed. Would have grabbed Delerium Tremens...
Deschutes Porter beer. Smooth.
My new quest is to find great Porter and Stout beer with notes of caramel, chocolate and coffee. So far Guiness Extra Stout is king.
Which porter? The Black Butte? I agree. It is nice.
Almost all good porters and stouts have a chocolate or coffee base. It's what I look for in them, but Guiness!?!?
Boulder Beer's Shake Chocolate Porter would be a good start. Also, Sam Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout is heaven.

I like to look local for beers. I wouldn't say I'm obsessed about it; maybe it has something to do with supporting local businesses, but I won't drink swill to prop them up. If you go westbound on Highway 5 from the Twin Cities, you'll pass Paisley Park (Prince's hangout) in Chanhassen, and you'll eventually end up in Victoria, home of Enki Brewing. I've tried two of their offerings... Victoria's Gold Cream Ale, and their Cacao Porter. Available in pints or growlers, and on tap. It might only be available locally, but if you see it in your stores, get some! They make some good beers.
