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 am down with the Brown. I would probably replace the Crystal 60 with some brown malt if I find some.
