pints&pairings #beersuggestioneers take on sessionable porters. Jason has some great gamey suggestions and I try to explain the differences between Porter and Stouts.

Just to clarify, porters don't usually use roasted barley (the ingredient that would make the beer a stout) and so have a more pronounced chocolaty flavor profile as opposed to bitter chocolate or roasted coffee that is found in stouts.
