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.

2009 Bottle - Pour is thin and dark with a small lt tan head...aroma is like a diet porter, lite roast, light cocoa...flavour is a bit thin, roasty malt, dk grain, slight coffee-like astringency with some hidden hop bitterness in the finish...probably one of the lowest I’ve had from GD...

Though the name states Robust Porter, I was a little disappointed with the subtle aroma and flavor. Still a nice porter with a coffee and chocolate flavor.

On tap at Great Divide. Dark brown in color with a decent off-white head and some lacing. Very nice roast and caramel aroma. Flavor is roasted malt, caramel, toffee, and some mild hops. Body is medium and carbonation level is average.

Pours with a dark brown body topped by a medium thick, off-white head with a good amount of lacing. It’s sweet and malty with underlying bittersweet chocolate notes. Medium to full bodied and smooth yet dry.

Dark brown ale, impressive lace - a nice hybrid of traditional british and nontraditional american porter styles - chocolate sweetness and somewhat debittered black malts - quite a bit of roast that works well with the american hop profile - creamy in the mouth - medum bodied - a nice balance of sweetness, roast, and bitterness - a fairly solid porter.

Bottle... Poured near black with a big, creamy, beige head. Big toasted malt nose with a nutty, chocolate presence. Lots of carbonation on this one with noticeable coffee and mocha flavors up front. Delicate hops and big malts took over before the coffee finish.

A dark brown beer with a ridiculous size head, in fact too big. The aroma is roasted & the taste is also with chocolate taste being the most dominant.

12 oz. bottle - thin, cola brown with trace white head; mild roast on the nose with nuts and touch of chocolate; coffee is a little harsh; super thin texture and flavor profile; get some vegi flavors too; blah; it’s too bad that a brewery that puts out some top shelf products also puts out a porter like this
