Your Favorite Porter Yeast

[HumboldtBrewer]

What's your guys favorite yeast to use on Porters, from Baltic porters to fruit/spiced porters?

I go with S-04 because it adds another layer of flavor which can be adjusted by ferm temp manipulation.

I'm a fan of WLP013 London Ale for brown and robust porters. I've had great success with WLP940 Mexican Lager for Baltic porters.

I like WLP002 for Brown Porters, WLP005 for Robust. I just did a Brown with WLP833 and it is fantastic.

I've made really good porters with Denny's Fav 50, US05 and Irish Ale yeast. Wasn't a fan of 04. Maybe I'll try Notty next time.

I'm a fan of 1728 and 1028 for both porters and stouts. Sure, the Chico strain is fine for them, too, but the other two make for a more interesting dark beer, I find.

There's something funny about the 1728, too. At first, it's good, but nothing special. Age that porter/stout for a year, and it seems to develop some wonderful dark stone fruit flavors. I've had that happen with several beers now. It's subtle, but very interesting and satisfying.
