Porter Roundup

Sampling these porters has been quite pleasant, and my first adventure into serious beer tasting. Comparing my porter to a range of commercially-made beers was quite informative as well. The beers fell into two categories: ones with both sweet and smokey flavors, and ones that were basically smokey. Mine was in the second category, while all of these beers were decent and drinkable, they weren't as complex as the ones in the first category. I will definitely try to tune my next porter to be a little sweeter. And I definitely will be buying more of my top two porters.
