I still haven't tried a West Indian Porter, it's pretty popular in the Tesco's I go to and it's been sold out the last 2 times I've looked.
What brought me back to this thread was I had a pint of Guinness' Hop House 13. I must say that was a smashing commercial beer and it helped me understand how hops can affect a beer. I've a Schwarzbier planned for my next beer but I'll be trying something hoppy after that.
