If you read both Designing Great Beers (Ray Daniels) or even Wikipedia on Porter, both refer to an 1802 history of Porter by Feltham, where Feltham is believed to have misinterpreted earlier letters by Poundage that referred to "three threads". However Porter was actually a single beer created to duplicate the flavor of "three threads" which was a blend of three beers. Porter itself was brewed as a single beer, to be consumed almost immediately, and was probably the first beer to be widely mass produced.

Porter was a mix of 3 different beers that initially were blended in the pub for each order, this was time consuming for the landlord so the breweries started to brew porter. The name came from the porters that worked in the markets of London, meat (Smithfield), veg. (Spittalfields) and it was popular drink for them. Also LOndon water is soft hence the dark beers that were brewed there like mild and old ales. Burton water is hard is better for bitters. A true porter should not be too sweet but slightly soar and fairly bitter. For a sweet dark beer look for Old Ale. Fullers produce a good bottled porter but the cask version is even better. If you are ever in London in winter make sure you seek it out. Interesting article about porter however there some errors I believe.
