Hrmm, really, it is good?! What would you liken it to? A sort of stout or porter?

I am interested... really!

I would say that it is a stout, because I don't know what a porter is. Sorry, I am kind of a noob. Reformed BMC drinker that has been home brewing 6 months. Granted, I have brewing alot in 6 months, but still a noob! It is a good recipe tho for extract.
