Has anyone heard of Dow Cream Porter? or have a recipe that is similar?

I'm pretty sure it isn't made anymore. It was one of my fathers favorite beers. I have been making my own beer for a little while now and thought it would be nice to try and make it. If anyone has any recipes that are similar, I would enjoy reading them. Thanks.Has anyone heard of Dow Cream Porter? or have a recipe that is similar?
Dow was a Northern Ontario brand made in Sudbury was an independant brewery, then bought out by Carlings which in turn was purchased by Molsons/Coor's, and they have closed 2/3's of there operations, Labatt's still makes a Cream Porter in certain areas, Porter is a dark beer, slightly sweet, is made like Guinness.





A substitute is a bottle of Guinness or even a bottle of Malta from the grocery store in the area they sell the Jamaican or Caribbean foods, it is non-alcholic, I have used it, Guinness and Porter in cooking and baking many times, it adds a sweetness and slight malty flavour.Has anyone heard of Dow Cream Porter? or have a recipe that is similar?
I know it used to be made byCarling O'Keefe Breweries in toronto. They may be out of business. I don't know of a recipe.
