Have read through many of the porter recipes in the database and have searched the internet. Now I need experienced input please. I am going for something similar to a Sierra Nevada Porter. What do yall think? I want it to be nice and balanced. Drier and toastier would be better than sweeter, but some where in the middle would be nice.
