Portly Porter III
This is my third (fourth?) variation on this extremely drinkable ale. A very dark ale, with a very complex blend of flavors. If you enjoy a dark beer then you will enjoy this! Even people who aren't fond of dark beers in general enjoy it.... one reason why I can't seem to keep many bottles around for long.
