5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, especially for all-grain brewers.
Foster details the history of porter including the techniques which were used to make "traditional" porter. He includes recipes, in both extract and all-grain, for duplicating what porter must have tasted and looked like from an historical basis. If you're interested in brewing porter, this is a must read.

good for history & iformation, not really a howto book
Pleasant little book to read, gives you quite a bit of history and description of the beer type. Good enough to give the curious an idea of whether or not they'll want to drink or make the stuff but does not give the uninitiated enough information to do the brewing. You will learn a lot though.

This review is from: Porter (Classic Beer Style) (Paperback)
This is a great book for the homebrewer , it gives extensive knowledge on the history of porter as well as a complete breakdown on what a porter actually is. You get an in depth view of the profile and composition as well as recipes to get you going. An easy to read and understand book that will keep you coming back to it as a great reference source.
