Beer Style: Porter Family
Fuller’s London Porter Clone
According to Fuller’s website, “A modern take on the 19th century porter style, Fuller’s rich, chocolatey London Porter recaptures the brooding beauty of pre-Victorian London. It’s evocative of simpler times but it’s a wonderfully complex pint.”
The Mole (Chipotle Porter)
Chipotle peppers bring a smoky, spicy flavor to this chocolatey porter recipe.

Dark Planet
This is a beer that uses muscovado sugar and technically fits no style…we’ll call it a porter though.

Glutinous Butt (Wheat Porter)
This beer is essentially a porter formulated with a wheat beer base. (The name comes from the fact that wheat has a high gluten content compared to barley and some porters used to be referred to as entire or entire butt.) The Glacier hops give an “earthy” hop flavor to the beer that works well with the roasted grains. Brew this and, at your next homebrew club meeting, everyone will be glad to see your Glutinous Butt.
Alaskan Brewing Co.’s Smoked Porter clone
Dark, robust, and smoky when young, this porter develops notes of sherry, Madeira, and raisin as it ages. It has a chewy malt character and is chocolaty with a smoky, oily finish.
Sinebrychoff Porter clone
From simple ingredients comes massive complexity. Robust toasty notes meet and blend with dark fruits and chocolate. The vinous, port-like character from this brute wraps everything up in a dark happy bow.
Big Sky Brewing Co.’s Missoula Five-O Chocolate Coconut Imperial Porter clone
Recipe was created by Zoo City Zymurgist member Bill Ruediger, who won the Community Brew contest hosted by Big Sky Brewing Co. The winner of the contest brews a commercial-sized batch at Big Sky. The beer’s proceeds were donated half to the brew club and half to a charity of the club’s choosing. Bill’s winning beer was inspired by a chocolate coconut porter at Maui Brewing Co. fresh off the taps. It took him eleven batches to finally find the winning combination.
Hot Chocolate Porter
Part of our aphrodisiac Valentine’s beer recipe round-up. This recipe is a little sweet and a little spicy, just the way many of us like it.
