Power Pack Porter

High in alcohol and hops, this fully-loaded brew isn’t for the faint of heart. Its robust roasty, chocolate and toffee flavors matched with good malt character and assertive hop bitterness make it a favorite of Midwest porter lovers. A bittersweet finish keeps with the traditional porter style. Add vanilla bean for a twist. Go big or go home!

I made this with WhiteLabs WLP002 (that is what i had on hand) and it is unbelievable! I get compliments from everyone who tries it. Semi-Sweet, chocolate tones, and smooth. I only made it once, but the keg is almost empty. Have to do it again.
p.s. This one sneaks up on you!

Definite Favorite Review by sanka

I used the Wyeast smack pack with this brew. I have tried many a porter in the cold winter months, but this one takes the cake. Slightly sweet with great flavor. Packs a punch too. My wife absolutely loves this brew, and it's definitely my favorite porter.

I had read some forum posts about this kit possibly being over-carbonated. I found that accurate, until I let it bottle condition for about a month. After that it was the perfect porter. Thick creamy head and no carbonation problem. If you can hold off a month, you'll be very well rewarded.

One of Midwests very best Review by Ryan

All I can say is, wow. My friend, who is a fellow Homebrewer/ Beer Connoisseur tried one of my brews. He said, and I quote, "Dude, your beer drank like a fine wine." This beer has it all: Flavor- Strong, heavy, porter taste with a chocolatey smooth finish. Body- Heavy, almost chewy sensation. Alcohol content- 8 of these will knock even a seasoned drinker on their butt. I love variety, but this is my go-to-beer when I want reliability. Cant go wrong!!!!! TRY IT!!!!!

One of the first kits that I've brewed, very easy to make. I tried it after 3 weeks and it was very sweet, after about a month and a half of bottle conditioning it was perfect!

Opened my first one today, after 1 month of bottle conditioning. Now, on my fourth, this porter is great will make again.

This porter is excellent after a month in the bottle. Bet it will be better in another month if it can last that long. Used Wyeast smack pack.

Tried the first one after 4 weeks and it was very good. After 6 weeks even better. I think it will keep getting better with age. Love this porter, smooth and great flavors. I did add vanilla to a gallon, it is a great touch. Can't wait to brew it again.

PLenty Of Punch Review by Lancelot

Straight out of the box this is an awesome beer kit. Added 8oz. of malto-dextrin to thicken it up a bit so to distinguish the body and it turned out so well that I brew it often. What is so awesome about this Porter is how fast it conditions in the bottle, holds a head, and draws compliments while getting better with age.

10 days ferm at 65F Wyeast London Ale;
21+ days secondary;
2 weeks bottled at 68F is enough to enjoy.

At 6 months it's like a delicacy. All-Star Rating!

A Porter that I'll re-order Review by Webdale35

I haven't brewed a Porter in many years as I am still riding the "Hop Head" wave.
This kit produced one nice brew. I did split the batch and flavored half with blackberries and I now I wish I did the whole batch! Both flavored and straight up, this beer is true to form and only getting better with time. Impressive to say the least.

Best Porter so far Review by William

The batch I made reminded me of Imperial Stout in flavor and alcohol content. It will probably disappear too fast to age. I can imagine the whole grain version must be fantastic.
