I just cracked a Picaroons Porter - Man's Best Friend and it reminded me of of the Mill Street Coffee Porter that I used to enjoy.
Has anyone else had both of these to comment on whether my recall of the Coffee Porter is correct. It has been quite some time. I think I prefer Propeller Porter to Man's Best Friend but am longing for a Coffee Porter to be able to make a call amoung the three.
Any Porter fans out there with views or other recommendations.

Re: Picaroons Porter - Mill St Coffee Porter or Propeller
I personally find Man's Best Friend to be more similar to a traditional Porter than a Coffee Porter. That being said, I haven't had one in a couple of years, so the recipe more than likely changed a bit since then.

Re: Picaroons Porter - Mill St Coffee Porter or Propeller
I've had all three, but the only one I've had recently is the Mill St (which is available in Bedford)
I would tend to agree with Jeff though (if my memory serves me correctly) that the Mill St had much more coffee flavor than the picaroons or the propeller.

Ditto. I had the Mill St last night. I'm a regular drinker of Propeller's porter and have had Picaroon's a few times as well. Porter is so good, I think it will be one of my next brews.
