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.

Pours a reddish brown with a thick tan head, a real gusher. Harsh acidic grain aroma, unpleasant. Sweet malt, roasty taste. Kind of unbalanced and may have to rerate, this bottle may not be good.

pours a thin black/dark brown with a small head, ok lacing. aroma of coffee, some very minor sweetness, nothing earth shattering. Palate is very weak, flavor is coffee with not much else- good, but considering others that great divide offers, somewhat disappointing. still a good beer to drink though.

12 oz. bottle. Pours dark coffee color with a light whitish-tan head. Predominant flavor is dark chocolate with a coffee finish and a hint of malt. Light to medium- bodied. Pretty decent.

12oz bottle served in an English pint glass. Pours deep brown with a thin tan head. Smells of cocoa powder and coffee. Rich roasted character with a lot of coffee character. Smooth with slightly noticeable carbonation. A pretty good porter.

Bottle as an extra in trade with GMCC2181. Thanks!!
Pours a nice black color with a medium to short lived beige head. Smell is roasty, a bit of coffee and some light cardboard like malt. Taste is lighty bitter and nicely roasty but a bit of stale-ish cardboard like flavor in there too. Medium to very slightly full body and normal carbonation. Overall, very drinkable and a decent porter with a nice roasty bitter finish.
