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.

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

Your Porter gives good head.

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

Your Porter gives good head.

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?

[CharliePC]

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.

Kind of sounds like a St. Bernardus.

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