St Pete's old style porter

It is important to start this by discussing the origin of a porter beer. Porter has come to mean lower gravity than the stout, but still black beer. Porter came in to existence named after the English river porter a working man who wanted a fine beer. there is debate and compromise as to it's beginning as "threethreads" or a few beers mixed in a single pint. Or the fact that beer companies used to leave aging to bar keeps sending out boozed beer with no secondary fermentation and letting bars decide how long to sit on a keg. At some point it became popular to send an already aged beer from the brewery named porter, it was darker and stronger since it satisfied the drinkers who wouldn't go home when told the beer left was unaged and not ready. If this is the origin of the Porter it would undoubtedly become likely that the practice of cutting the aged beer with the new beer to meet demands was popular. No matter what porter is dark and like a Stout in some ways., but should have young unfinished beer flavours available which stout never should.
St. Peter's hits it directly, I think they in fact do mix old dark beer fully aged and ready to drink with a beer that is fresh and a bit "green" still. I can't prove that, but I believe i read that once. It is a truly wonderful beer even if that is bollucks. It's sweet after drinking but nice and dry in the mouth. There are these great carmel notes in the nose that fall away to the darker and harsher dry bark flavour, but it leaves again after the swallow yielding a mild sugar not quite vanilla but a tiny amount of rock candy just loosely cleaning up the mouth.
Also and not importantly but, this beer comes in this way cool old medicine bottle looking thing. it's a full pint bottle with this great old wide shape and rings on the bottom. The epitome of porter in my opinion. The other beers from st. Peter's are fine, but porter defines them as great and defines porter outright.
