    Sam Adams has a crap-load of different beer types, covering many styles.
    They range from big-assed hop-bombs to wheat beers and cranberry lambics.

    There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live -- did live, from habit that became instinct -- in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized. E. A. Blair

    My tastes runs along the lines of -
    Chimay (Blue and Red), St. Bernardus 12, New Castle Brown Ale, Brother Thelonious, Scaldis.

    I'm not familiar with the Scaldis.

    Belgian stuff- I prefer #8s dubbels.
    Rochefort 8
    St Bernardus 8
    Westvleteran 8

    and pretty much anything by Achouffe

    Once I get my own place I'll try my hand at home brewing!

    Truth be told, I just grabbed that pic off of the net.

    I typically brew and serve my porters closer to those found in british pubs.

    Below is a pic of my quasi-cask conditioned porter served through a rigged-up beer engine.

    OK,so your porter needs to cover the teeth a bit, but the colour looks robust and I have a thirst from the photo.

    I brew porters regularly, about every 6th batch.
    My recipe usually includes a bit of oats for increased mouth feel.
    Depending my mood and the weather it could also include; molasses, raisins and/or coffee.

    There is a rumor that Guinness brewed in Ireland has mashed potato added to give the creamyness, do you credit it?

    Guinness’ creaminess comes from it being nitrogenated. This is pretty common in stouts. Many home-brewers get a special nitro setup to mimic the Guinness feel.

    My brews aren't near that level, but I sometimes pretend they are and drink them out of a Belgian goblet beer glass.
