2. Ooooh, they make a porter
which really is my favorite type, a medium dark beer that lacks the thick heartiness of stout but is much more interesting than a bland lager. A good porter should be drunk at room temperature. A bad commercial lager has to be drunk ice cold so you don't notice the cat piddle overtones.

Unfortunately, my drinking days are over thanks to migraines. However, if I could still drink, my drink of choice would be porter.
