Holiday Beer Report: Santa’s Little Helper from Port Brewing

Santa’s Little Helper Imperial Stout

Port Brewing is another one of those breweries that have never let me down. They brew some of the most fantastic beers I have had the pleasure of tasting. If you live in the So Cal area, drive down to one of their Pizza Port locations and enjoy a few pints of fabulous brews with a basket of beer buddies. It’s well worth the drive and they’re all located close to the beach.

Their seasonal winter offering, Santa’s Little Helper Imperial Stout, is a must have winter beer. It’s a dark, brooding stout with wonderful flavors of espresso and bitter sweet chocolate. It’s high alcohol content can be dangerous if you’re not careful:

As dark as the biggest lump of coal Santa can deliver, this beer has earned a dedicated following and is code named Satan’s Little Hangover by those who have indulged in a holiday like manner from time to time.

If you like stouts and aren’t afraid of thick, dark, meal-in-a-glass beers, pick one up and enjoy. It will definitely warm the coldest of souls on a frosty, winter night. I have to thank John for this one. It’s the perfect holiday gift! Thanks!

Sorry there’s no picture with this one, feeling lazy. Drink one of these and you’ll know how I’m feeling!
