That porter should work well in your bean soup.
I like to use Sam Adams Chocolate Bock-- it's in their winter mix pack and it's just not very good as a straight beer, but when used in chili, it's excellent. Since NOBODY drinks them at Christmastime, I always have 4 of them lying around in the back of the fridge throughout the year.
I do,as I'm not a fan of Holiday/Chistmas(coriander/cinamon - yech) Ales even though Great Lakes makes a killing on them and Shiner actually had a decent one.My local Suds contact has a back room filled with past date Beers that i procure at a discount
and I had some(before they fetch them back and give him credit) .Also Texans were known to take beans on cattle drives and I'm sure that some of the Pokes threw them in the pot along the way.Of course they are little more refined culinarly speaking than you
Don't use a smoker as it's just me and Cindy and she's practically vegetarian,so not worth hassle
