Do you have reference on this? I'd like to read up on it. Every Baltic porter I've ever had was just a big porter.

What, that many Baltic Porters are lagers? Check out post #3.

Yeah. I was totally unaware of that until now. I guess the style out here doesn't really take the tradition into account. I'd be interested in trying some of the more true to style examples.

Okocim and Carnegie are both lagers I think. Sinebrychoff is an ale. Those are the common European ones around here.

I have seen some US ones that are lagers, can't think of one off the top of my head.

Can we agree that the OP was probably asking what a traditional Stout was and it is, indeed, an ale fermented with ale yeast.

Here's some recipes...

WTF, my first post was moved hardcore...

I don't know what a traditional stout is, but a lot of stout and porter has been made with lager yeast longer than any of us have been alive.
