Stout-Porter lovers unite!! Ha. I found this one in all places - a Sobey's grocery store. Pretty impressive collection for a smallish fridge. There are a couple cherry Imperial stouts waiting patiently in my basement beer fridge. (Mostly eggs and produce in there, but calling it a beer fridge sounds better.) Not sure if I posted my current favourite, as it changes too often, but so far it is a chocolate milk stout called Kissed My Cow At Midnight. Drinking a few gave me no inclination whatsoever towards bovine smooching, but they were tasty. The beers not the cows. Haven't seen it on shelves since. At Bell City Brewery here in town they're just about to release another seasonal batch of Fuego-Habanero Chili Lager. I've been told hot chili peppers, in beer or otherwise, have no place in canoe tripping. Can't imagine why?
Red, I'll keep my eyes peeled for that Kiwi stout, sounds really good. Thanks for the heads up. Neustadt makes a 10W30 brown ale which I love. Can't diss the nutbrown ales, except... I used to like Newcastle, until I read that they were forced to remove the caramel colour 4-MEI under pressure from activists and consumers. I also read a comment saying the brewer should just cut out the colouring and instead draw water straight from the local source. Ouch. Ha.
