I've been drinking stouts and porters for almost 30 years (before that I was a peasant beer drinker).

A good porter is hard to find. I’ve had a few, but you have to look. Moon Raker is good. Also look at some of the German winter brews.

OP and FP both NI.
I had a bottle of Fuller's London Porter for the first time tonight. Very good. Like the OP I prefer maltier beers over hoppy beers. IPAs are nasty. |
|
Old Raspy is a classic and one of my standbys.
Around the holiday season I love to find a bottle of Xocoveza from Stone. Black Butte Porter from Deschutes is great too. |

I have several saved for new years to split with my brother.

I enjoy that chocolate stout too OP.
I like very few styles of beer. Stouts/Porters and Cream Ales. |

Quoted: When I go to a bar I ask them what's your darkest beer. If they say Guinness, I ask, what's your second darkest? Nothing against Guinness, I just had too much of it in my 20s and I'm ready to move on. And if you've ever had this, then Guinness tastes like Miller Light. https://boozedancing.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/north-coast-old-rasputin-ris.jpg View Quote I'm half Ukrainian but I will still try it! LOL! I think I have seen it. We have one of the top beer stores (as far as variety) on the USA- only about 45 minutes away. |

Samuel Smith’s oatmeal stout is also awesome.

Holy crap I forgot about that one for at least a decade! Great beer! Kind of nutty from what I recall. I will have to pick one up. Haven't had it in at least 10 years. |

Black Butte Porter is my go to, always available and relatively inexpensive.

Stouts and porters are my favorite styles overall. I've enjoyed many of those mentioned/pictured above.
While a lot of things have gone to shit in the last several decades, beer is not one of them. Sure, there have been some silly trends like crazy bitter IPAs, but overall there is increased access to a wide variety of awesome beers, often for a reasonable price. |

I'm not a huge fan of the chocolate stuff. For stout, my go to is Sam Smith's oatmeal stout. Just picked up a few more bottles yesterday.
This brewery in NH makes a great porter. The best bottled porter I've found is Alaskan smoked porter. |

Narwhal when i can find it old monk makes a good one dasvidanya by distill brewery,both the rye aged and non bourbon barrel stout don't put a beer in front of me thats less than 8% ABV and call its stout |

I'm a huge fan of Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout. It's good when it's chilled but it actually gets sublime when it's room temp. It's a fantastic stout.
