"I think of you night and day. Day and night, why is it so, that this longing for you follows wherever I go?" so wrote the famous songwriter with the same cognomen(though spelled different). Yes, this brew almost makes you sing. Well, maybe after a few you'd be singing a Mozart libretto in wild jubilee. But this isn't much of an actual singing porter now is it. It's more of spiritual singing. Harps and haloes and angels chorusing above your head in a raucous cloud of ecstasy. Anyhow, back to the anecdotes: the real Cole Porter in his latter years was continuously "breaking appliances so he could lure cute repairmen into his lair"(source: wikipedia.com). Me, I'm just trying to beat back the slutty Budweiser girls from my/your head. Damn perverts and their beerstuff. Yeah, that's the mantra here: another bad play on word double-entendre sort of entry. Which is too bad really because this is a fine porter. On par with my beloved P. P. (sorry, Pontiac Porter). There's nothing like a deep roasted coffee choco (maybe I should just say Chofee for now on and maybe I should stop parenthesizing everything) beer in 75% humidity with the threat of thunderstorms. But this is a fine fine lava java that coupled with a Dogfish Head Inidan Brown Ale has me very tipsy. OK, I'm lit but this beer is centrifugally sound and yummy. Drink it.

I have had beers all over the world. Ales, Stoudts, Porters, Lagers home brew, Guiness, Bass, Courage, Peroni Moretti, etc etc. I had my first Coal Porter when the Atlantic brewing company was Next Door to the Lompoc cafe in a little alley off of Cottage Street in down town Bar Harbor. Back then you could only buy it in 22 oz bottles or in select bars on tap. This is by far my favorite beer and I have finally found a beer distributor to import it to Pennsylvania for me. Prior to that I lived on visits from family and friends transporting it to me a case or 2 at a time which I would then ration until my next visit. If you can find it and you love beer...try it, you will not regret it.
