Just for the fun of it... If you love porter and know both beers, which is you favorite? It's a photo finish for me but I call Taddy Porter by a nose.
Best porter? Deschutes Black Butte vs. Sam Smith Taddy Porter

IPA is my spirit animal
I didn't drink either of these beers at the same time in my drinking career. Which would I prefer? Deschutes. Taddy is excellent, but it's a tough call because I think both are world class.

Deschutes is smoky, and coffee, and a little bit chocolate. Sam Smith's is malty, and toffee, with a hint of chocolate and coffee. If I'm only gonna have one, Taddy porter by a nose. (he-he)
Deschutes for me..... one of my all time favorite beers, of any style. Love that beer. Brewing one up this coming weekend.

Never had deschutes, but love taddy porter. Now I'll be on the lookout for deschutes!
Mix them together to create the perfect porter? I'm always surprised that blending beers isn't more popular than it is.
I'll take Evil Twin Lil B over either of those. Not knocking your choices. They're great. Just a preference.

will have to try that one, if I can find it. Love a good porter.
I have had the Black butte port and that is a really good one, but I have to say, there is a micro near my house that makes one better.
Six row brewery porter.

It's kind of hard to be world class with a name as campy as Black Butte. Taddy can be found all around the world, while it's exceptionally rare to see Black Butte up here in Scandinavia.
There's a recipe in BYO for this that I've been meaning to try.Sinebrychoff (Koff for short) Porter, by far the best porter in the world.
Made in Finland, 7.2% ABV.

Deschutes for daily consumption. I can see the Butte through the trees at home, and bottles are always at Costco. I love Taddy Porter too. But I have to give the win to Deschutes for the anniversary bottles of Black Butte XX (except for XXIII)

I was referring to my hard copy but the recipe is the same as what they've made available online. Now I remember why I haven't brewed it: lager yeast. Hope to have temp controlled fermentation chamber in coming month or two for just such a beer.
Thanks. Not a very accurate recipe in terms of resulting in 6.1% ABV, whereas the real deal is 7.2% ABV. I might try the extract with grains recipe since I'm not equipped for full grain at the moment.
