RE: Favorite Stouts and PortersThe nice thing about going to Indians' baseball games is that they serve several brews from Great Lakes. A little pricey, but the glasses are large. I seem to remember that they had about four or five flavors on tap.

RE: Favorite Stouts and PortersI had a chance not too long ago to try the Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald, and I found it very very nice. It's one I would love to drink again.
About an hour ago, I enjoyed a bottle of Arcadia Ales' Barrel Aged Shipwreck Porter. With 50 IBUs and an ABV of 12%, this is a big beer. Lots of aromas of bourbon and vanilla and chocolate. Wonderful on the palate. It was truly a pleasure.

RE: Favorite Stouts and PortersAnd a big YES to Ten Fidy from Oskar Blues. That one pours black as old oil and almost as thick. It's sweet and rich and so good.

RE: Favorite Stouts and PortersHow did you walk after the Shipwreck Porter, that's a high ABV, I might fall down after a few of those

I waited to open it until after I was in for the evening. Not just the ABV, it's big in every way.

RE: Favorite Stouts and PortersI don't find Xinhua on either ratebeer.com or beeradvocate.com . I don't know how to find it. Perhaps you could ask your friend again what it was?
