re: O.T. anyone tried the Terrapin Smoke on the Porter

Did you know that using only barley, hops, water, and yeast, you can make everything from chocolate porters and coffee stouts to fruity ales and skunky IPA's?

Just because something has a fancy name and unique flavors doesn't mean there's extra weird shite put into it.

That was never my premise to begin with...if it has a fancy or cute name odds are pretty good it is not fit to drink. A brewer who spends an inordinate amount of time coming up with names and artwork for bottles is like a restaurant owner who devotes more time to ambiance than to food. It is entirely possible to do both BUT the beer must be the selling point and in my experience the cuter or cathcier or fancier the name the lower the quality.

And by the way none of the brews you mention are beers....Porters, Stouts and Ales...no a beer in the group....
