Porters and Stouts Mixed Case (12 beers)

Not a bad one in this bunch. Enjoyed them all, some more than others but still worth getting.

This is my first case and I loved it. All the beers are good. Some excellent. I will definitely buy again.

I was very excited by this case - I love dark beers, and there's some crackers on the list.
I understand that they might not have all 15 in stock, and was reassured they would substitute with bottles of "equal or greater value".
I was initially disappointed to find that 5 beers had been substituted. I am annoyed that it was the more interesting ones, and that the substitutes are not of "equal or greater" value.
(Ratebeer percentile rating in brackets)
They didn't send - Left Hand Milk Stout(94) - 8 Wired Stout (96) - Founders Porter (100)(I was really looking forward to this) - Thornbridge Eldon (95) - Rogue Shakespeare (99).
The replacements - Telford Porter (38)(!!) - Ilkley Hanging Stone (74) - Yeastie Boys Pot Kettle (94) - Buxton Coffee (new, unrated) - Roosters Londinium (86).
If they can't supply 1/3rd of the drinks in the description, they should update the description, or actually swap out with equivalent drinks.

Really enjoyed and will definitely be reordering

Nice choice here, a few new ones I hadn't tried before including an Italian, which was very good actually. There are a few standards here that many people will have tried but that adds to the value as the level of 'risk' trying new ones is mitigated by knowing a few good ones are already there. Enjoyed all of the beers in the case though so thumbs up.

This is a good mixed selection. Good starter

Got this for my father in law and he enjoyed them. There were some unusual choices part of the box but worth a try.

Excellent variety and value. As with any mixed case there are some better than others but the good far outweigh the bad. Good selection of porters stouts and imperials.

He's never drunk so much, so quickly! I might regret this :)

Although usually the most pricey case on BeerHawk, every time I've purchased this mixed bag, I have never been disappointed.

It always comes through with a varied mix of Porters and Stouts, that will satisfy anyone who enjoys the darker side of ales

If you enjoy traditional - and some not so traditional - dark beers then you're sure to love this mixed case!

If you like a good stout / porter then this is the case for you. Didn't have a bad beer

A cracking selection of tasty porters and stouts...loved it!

Great value, very impressive.A real variety of dark beers, some real heavyweights included. Pity I can’t earn beer tokens for each of the 15 beers but, hey!

A great gift for the dark hearted. Really nice selection of cool beers. Have fun!

Porterlicious - varied case that was nice to help find a favourite

Great selection, didn't get any cans but that's fine. Would appreciate a few milk stouts thrown into the selection too but other than that very good :)

Ordered this as I had really developed a taste for stouts and porters. Was really pleased with the selection, my favourites being the Anchor Porter and the Magic Rock, in reality I really enjoyed them all. Recommend this mixed case.

selection of porter and stout.
brilliant range of both strength and taste.
we worth a try to introduce those who believe stout comes only from dublin

I ordered this as an Easter present from my wife and was looking forward to many of the brews. Mind you, I ordered it later in the year when winter had already passed. It arrived in good time and had an excellent selection of ales, though 9 had been changed. Out of 15 this was a huge amount! I'm not complaining, you understand, but it was a shame as I'd already had the Eldon and Jet Black Heart and, in the original listings, I'd had none of them. Both the Eldon and the Jet Black Heart are good ales, very good ales, and the Birra del Borgo was an interesting and welcome addition. As was the Common Grounds from Magic Rock Brewing (good job I didn't order that separately!).

In short, I love what they did with the box, and I get the need to have swaps - maybe have a list of potential ales rather than a set list though? Would that work? Probably not.

If you have a chance, order this crate, the list ales are brilliant and the swaps I got were good enough that I do not mind. When dealing with ales, that's about as good as you can get. I'd have given five stars but for the sheer amount of swaps. Like I say, I'm happy with what was swapped in, but it may not be to everyone's taste.

Bit disappointed if I am honest. Too many small bottles and cans included (it says bottles). Rather expensive when you consider what is received. Bought as birthday gift, hope he enjoys!

Just received my case today. Had great fun looking through the selection. Couldn't wait to try one, so out with the Keto Revolver. Lush! Superb selection for those of us who are on the "dark side"!

In my opinion, porters and stouts are the finest of all beers. An excellent range in this.

Fantastic case, amazing selection of beers. Ordering again soon!!

A lovely selection of ales with a range of different tastes to excite the tongue

Purchased as a slightly out of the ordinary christmas present for my father. He is traditionally a Guinness drinker, but having said that has probably not ventured very far from this tried and tested product. The case was perfect for him, each bottle like a little surprise waiting to be discovered. He'll be getting another case for his birthday.

I'm a huge fan of dark ales and porters and have ordered this case previously. It never disappoints. A fabulous selection. Would definitely recommend.

Great selection of porters and stouts. At least as many that I thought were outstanding as those that were not to my taste.

I'd recommend this case to anyone that wanted to get a taster of a broad spectrum of these dark beers.

Bought this for a friend and have been receiving photo after photo and a running ranking of the beers! The box had a solid mix of strengths and variants from smoked stouts to vanilla porter. It is only a matter of time before i join the dark side...

i bought it as a sampler of porters and stouts and that's exactly what i got. didn't love them all but certainly found a few i did and that was pretty much what i'd hoped for. recommended for the porter/stout curious.

A great selection, have enjoyed all so far with each beer individually representative of the amazingly diverse character of 'dark' beers.

Will certainly be reordering some of my individual faves!

This selection goes into some excellent out the way porters and stouts, always enjoyable but particularly in winter. Real enterprise captured in unusual brews and combinations of grains, hops and flavourings.

What an excellent mixture of stouts and porters! This is the second time Ive ordered this now, and I am very happy with the contents. 10/10!

Hubby loves your beers and the fact that each one tells it\'s story on the label. Keeping them for Christmas though ;-)

received after two working days not bad this close to xmas ,a few different beers from the last time ordered cannot wait to try

Whataselection. As a porter and stout lover there was everything in this case. Great value will be back for more.

A wonderful selection of old favourites like Old Engine Oil and new additions especially the Elland Porter!

Lovely selection of dark stouts and porters. A couple I was not completely sold on, but 90% fabulous, and I'm sure that with practice I could love em all!

From California to Scotland, Oregon to Yorkshire this is a lovely eclectic collection. If you love smokey, coffee hints, etc etc and the darkstuff generally jump in !

Sooo tasty. Only 2 out of this pack I didnt love. Amazing set for someone new into the porter and stout world

A great selection of porters and stouts. Thanks beer hunter!

Great selection here, I got about ~80% of what is shown with some other really interesting stouts making up the rest. I\'m fairly likely to just re-order this pack again as there was nothing I didn\'t like. Delivered safely and on time as well.

Excellent dark beers,stouts and porters. Only trouble I had was one or two were very lively, maybe this was from the transport. Excellent beers just let them settle.

This set provides a fantastic selection especially if you are looking to try a wide range of stouts and porters. After this I think I will be staying on the dark side.

I ordered this mixed case because I enjoy porters and stouts and love it when I get to try new ones. The variety in the case is impressive with beers from all over the UK and overseas. This is an excellent choice for anyone who likes these styles as a couple of the beers are among the best I've had.

If you love dark beers/stouts/porters......well... this is FOR YOU!! When it arrives in the post, its very exciting as you don't know what will be inside exactly! receiving this is like receiving your first ever Christmas present again. PERFECT GIFT for the stout lovers.

This is the most divine selection ever! Buy it immediately

Buy buy buy.

Purchased for my dad who has drank nothing but Guinness for decades. After a few fruity stouts, with fresh sharper tastes he was raving about it. Its already on the shopping list for this Christmas. Winner, if your a stout lover.

This case is an exceptional if you like heavy beers. Some wasn't something I'd buy again, they was interesting anyway. I will buy this again in the winter for a nice bedtime drink.
Enjoyed this imensly

An excellent selection of dark beers ranging in strength and flavour. A must for lovers and initiates to the dark side.

Loving every one of these delightful beers. Got Dad converted to them too. Highlight so far is the 10% Brooklyn Chocolate Stout.
P.S. More Hopshackle bottles in future please!

can honestly say this crate has installed an insane passion for drinking porters and stouts. All beside one (most likely because i was hungover and couldnt appreciate it) they were superb. Highly recommended. I even went out my way to have them with a selection of cheeses and meats with just doubled the beers awesomeness

Hubby enjoyed his box but was dissapointed that IPAs and largers were included, as he says they aren't stouts or porter ales. He really enjoyed the actual porters and stouts

Some really quality porters in here, a great choice for a present or to treat yourself!!

Having only recently got into porters and stouts this was a great case to try the different styles and flavours available. All were great and I think I'll be ordering another case.

This pack has some really outstanding beers, but it also has some mediocre ones. Overall, it's a good sampler, but I would have preferred more craft samples thrown in.

Another mixed case had been given to me as a present. This was my first order, with another case (world lagers - equally excellent). The variety and quality of these beers is exceptional; not easy to get porters and less common stouts even in good wine retailers. Why bother shopping when you can get this range online, delivered promptly and for ~£2/bottle! More time to drink and re-order!!

Having only recently got into porters and stouts this was a great case to try the different styles and flavours available. All were great and I think I'll be ordering another case.

The case contained a excellent range of porters and stouts of varying strengths. Good variety of tastes ,would buy again

My wife bought the case of dark beers for me.All, without exception were fantastic! My particular favourites were the left hand milk stout and the March of the Penguins.I also loved the rich Anchor Porter, Oh hell, I really cant differentiate. They were all great! Two crates down and I'm ready for more.Thank you for your hard work.

I love the darker ales and this did not disappoint .

Bought this originally as a present for my dad, when I saw the range I ordered one for myself. What an awesome collection, incredible beers!

Delivery of 2 cases of stout/porters was within days only from order, amazing. The sooner to indulge in the wonderful range of great dark beers. This will not be the last order.

super range of ports and stouts for xmas lot of american ones which i had not tryed before very good value for money

Very good selection, I enjoy trying new beers & you offer a large variety so will be back for more.

Great range of stouts and Porters which was much appreciated by my other half, great site with lots of choice for all ale drinkers.

A great case - this is my second - that makes winter worthwhile.- with Williams Bros really standing out.
Only bad one the Bramble Stout (also in the CBOB case) which is going into a beef recipe.

Great selection, each beer slightly different but equally good. Worth taking tasting notes ! This is beer at its best

This was an exceptional box mix a real treat to taste and savour the aromas.

A definate must for the long winter nights in

I ordered two cases of this fantastic beer on the monday and it came to my house on the thursday morning .on the same night i sampled a few bottles . The taste and the variety were second to none i was in beer heaven. I will be buying more when these have gone . well done beer hawk keep up the good work all the best from steve in nottingham

Very happy with beers and service would use again

bought this case for my dad for his 90th birthday he only drinks the dark ales now for some reason unknown but this went down well. I dare say he will have his favourites, we'll wait and see but I wouldn't mind trying this myself sometime.

Fantastic range of difficult to find beers. The 2 Rogue Brewery beers were particularly tasty. Highly recommended.

Fantastic range of ales that I wouldn't have normally bought separately. Thanks guys!

Really great beers will be treating myself again. Very good selection and quick delivery.

Loved all these beers great tasting great selection and pretty good price. Will definately buy again

Great beers at a great price. A perfect Chirstmas present to myself!

Winter Porters and Stouts was a New Year present for my husband but it has turned out to be such a lovely selection I've been 'forced' to help him enjoy it. Each beer is a marvel of delightful taste and he is really happy with all the beers he has had so far.

Fantastic selection of good quality beer, I had a great time discovering new tastes and flavors.

An excellent selection of sometimes under-rated styles of beer. Fed up with golden ales? Try the dark side and give your taste buds a treat - you won't regret it.

An excellent selction of which most are new to me and a pleasure to discover thank you

Very nice selection, good enough to make even the most ardent of pale ale drinkers to consider a move to the dark side now and then.

I bought these to drink over the festive season, and it's been a real pleasure to try the different beers. Harviestoun Old Engine Oil is one of my all-time favourites!

I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband, he was so pleased, every beer in this selection is of a fantastic quality. I could not have choose a selection like this by myself. My husband normally saves quality beer like this however in this instance he could not wait to get stuck in. A fantastic variety, Im sure I will be ordering again soon.

I was amazed at the quality of these beers .Having bought two cases of this fine beer which i was to save for xmas . I have already polished off one case .The quality and variety is second to none .Every time i open a new bottle the tastes and textures awaken my taste buds .What a great range .Well done beer hawk i will be coming back for more .

A lovely choice of beers, I couldn't have asked for more.
