Honey Porter
24 Apr, 2007
Sam Adams Honey Porter is back, at least for the time being, and I am pleasantly surprised to find that I like it just about as well as I did 10 or 11 years ago, which was probably the last time I had it.
I remember usually having a six pack of Samuel Adams’ Honey Porter or Scotch Ale in the fridge of my Racquet Club apartment, but after moving to L.A. I think I was either too poor to buy Sam Adams for a while, or too busy trying out other beers. By the time I got a hankering for Honey Porter again, they had stopped making it.
Late last year I heard that it was available again, but only in one of their variety 12 packs. I was pleasantly surprised to see a six pack of it last week, and today I finally gave in to temptation.
It’s not the best porter I’ve ever had —that honor would have to go to a bottle of Samuel Smith’s Tadcaster I had at Bishop’s Lounge about three years ago— but it’s good, and the nostalgia factor counts for a lot in my book.
Here’s hoping they start selling Scotch Ale by the six pack again.
