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][2] 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!
