Porter Brown Ale
Developed this recipe from a Black Butte Porter Clone recipe I got from the Cats Meow 3 web page. I ad libbed on the recipe to my taste and available ingredients. It has a very smooth taste and just the right amount of bite I prefer. It is a bit sweet, probably due to the grains I used.
