I don't know what makes that a porter and not a stout.

I didn't think there was a difference. I thought the stout was just a term for a strong porter.
I look at Porters as less heavy and easier to drink than a stout. I think Black Butte Porter is a great example of what I think a Porter should taste like. It's not original or ground breaking, but it is an excellent beer, even if it is mass produced.

I'm not a home brewer or a beer aficionado, so I don't know for certain why it's a porter. That's what BP calls it though.
From what I've seen/tasted. Porters seem to have a more simplistic malt backbone than stouts. Maybe porters only use one malt, or a certain type(s) of malt, while stouts use various different types to create stronger, more complex flavors.
I'm probably wrong and that's OK. If a brewer says their beer is a certain style I just believe them and drink it. I had a golden milk stout a few months back
...the fine lines between different styles are becoming gray areas and too difficult for simpletons like me to understand.

No love for Edmund Fitz in the porter category.

There's such a gray line between porters and stouts. The main difference I find is that stouts use much more roasted barley while porters tend to stick to the brown and chocolate malts. Porters generally tend to be smoother IMO.

Just left Whole Foods Lafayette. Bar is all LA taps right now. Which are actually pretty good. Beer selection is probably best in Lafayette. THANK GOD!
Talked to the beer guy. Said he pulled alot of things from Nola since distribution here is lacking. But they are working on it.
Hoptimum, Founders, Terrapin, all locals, etc.
Oh.... and a few Cantillon.
