Hah. I was just thinking about brewing one of these the other day, although I was going to try to emphasize caramel as part of the flavor in hopes to imitate Saranac’s Caramel Porter.

How about some brown malt in the Brown Porter recipe?
Brown malt is now becoming more available at some of the online stores. Certainly would add a more authenitic English character to this historically important style.

[...] I find that Porter has beared the brunt of many a homebrewers follied experimentation with flavorings. Don’t believe me… when was the last time you saw someone post a Porter recipe that didn’t include, chocolate, fruits, hazelnut, coffee, bourbon, whiskey, mint, sage, vanilla, grass or tooth-paste as a special additive? (That’s a trick question, see here.) [...]
