Samuel Adams Holiday Porter

20130203:
This beer is my second beer while watching the Super Bowl this year. I drank it before drinking some Ommegang Three Philosophers and after drinking a bottle of Samuel Adams White Christmas. I should note that I drank the beer from my Ommegang (tulip) glass.

I wrote: "Samuel Adams Holiday Porter. It smells like a porter. It's okay. Yeah, it's okay." 8:29PM ET
I wrote: "Hmmmm. It's not bitter. It tastes like a standard porter." 8:46PM ET
