The microbrewery here made a Bourbon Porter in the Summer of '06 which was literally the best Porter I have ever drank in my entire beer-drinking life. It had a high alcohol content and the bourbon was not overpowering at all.
But they decided not to make it anymore. They wouldn't tell me why even when I tried to encourage them to take it to a competition, it was sure to win some awards! Alas - their loss. But I want to try to brew that for myself, see if I can do it. (Note: I've no experience YET in homebrewing yet I am working on it.)
Have anyone of you tried such a Porter? Or seen the recipe? (The microbrewery wouldn't share - I have no idea if they used real bourbon or an extract. I think it was real.) I know eventually I'll get around to experimenting it but who knows, maybe one of you guys who knows what it'll take can share before god forbid something happens! :-D
