Commercial Description:
St. Bridget, a legendary Irish saint, created a sensation by turning her bathwater into beer. What better way to celebrate her worthy miracle than with our zymurgistic tribute to her feat, St. Bridget's Porter. St. Bridget's is a smooth, elegant, and chocolaty brown porter. Brimming with coffee and chocolate characteristics from dark barley malts, St. Bridget's is carefully hopped to provide the perfect complement to its malty robustness.

Bottle with thanks to MrBunn. Pours a reddish black with a thinnish head. Some roasted malt and chocolate in the nose with a touch of raisin or prune. Flavor is lacking a bit. Some roasted malt and some chocolate, accompanied with some dirt and ash, but texture wise its a bit weak. Marginal at best.

Heavily roasted chocolate malt backbone. Light caramel notes with burnt coffee bean and some bitter dark chocolate. A tad thin and watery.

Clear dark reddish-brown pour with a perfect tan head. RIDICULOUS amounts of drippy panes of lace, leaving a great history of the beer level. Nice aroma of coffee, raisins, and malt, which make a nice base for the accent flavor of chocolate. Honestly, more like Nestle’s Quik than dark chocolate, but the flavor works well anyway! Overly thin for a porter, but the nice malty finish evens things out.

Botte as shown. Pours a very dark brown with a medium frothy light tan head that lasts awhile leaving behind good spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is roasted malt with coffee and sweet caramel. Thin mouthfeel and a bit watery on the palate. Taste is sweet roasted malt with coffee and caramel. Easy to drink a very good Porter from Great Divide.

Pours a dark brown with a moderate tan head with decent retention. Roasted malt aroma with coffee overtones. Flavor is a good mix of bitter coffee and sweet caramel malts. Just a hint of additional molasses sweetness. Mouthfeel is a little on the light side for the style, but not distractingly so. Overall, it’s not a great porter, but it’s solid and you could certainly do a lot worse.

Black with a tan head. Aroma is mainly coffee. Taste is coffee as well as some chocolate. Slightly hoppy with a somewhat sweet finish. Might be a little thin, but doesn’t hurt the taste too much. Overall, a good standard porter, and very drinkable.

A bit too thin for my liking. Has some decent coffee notes, and smokiness. I wouldn’t go for it again.
