Are you sure it was a porter? I love Billy's. I know they keep the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale on tap. They might have had BBC's Jefferson Reserve Bourbon Stout, as well. Both are good. The Jefferson Reserve is amazing. Easily one of my favorite beers...
Any reason why this shouldn't be my first brew? I'd picked it out as something I'd love to try, then searched this place...
My memory gets a bit cloudy sometimes.....I remembered having a Bourbon flavored beer at Billy's, along with my most excellent Mutton Platter!!!
I didn't think it was a Porter, and now that you mention it I'm sure it was the Kentucky Boubon Barrel Ale.
So far as this being your first brew, this was my second, and I have had no problems. I would recommend a 6 gallon better bottle or a bucket for the primary, the first 3-5 days area pretty violent fermentation. I had mine in a 5 gallon better bottle and the blow off was pretty amazing.....
Mine has been siting on the oak and bourbon for a little over two weeks, I'll be bottling it soon. Very anxious to have a taste, hopefully in a couple months I'll be enjoying a glass.
