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.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, and soy sauce. Poured dark red/dark brown in color with a small tan head that disappeared. Clear. Sparkling. Light to medium bitter flavor. Tastes of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, cream, and a bit of piney hops. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Roasted malt finish. Boring.

(Bottled week 2, Nov. (’07 presumably) from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/massachusetts/w target=blank>Julio’s Liquors) Bitter and chocolatey...Pours very dark brown with rubyish highlights. Four fingers of tan head that settle to about 1/4" of a lasting cap. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth, a touch thin but still lightly milk-shakey. Lots of broken rings of lacing. Flavor is mostly dark bitter chocolate with a touch of slightly over-cooked coffee. Fairly bitter overall. Touch of grassiness in finish. Decent.

Deep brown of color with a nice brown head. An aroam with notes of coffee, chocolate, roasted malt and hints of dark fruits. A flavor with notes of malt, hay and coffee notes.

Bottle. Pours a dark clear dark brown with initial one finger tan head that fades into a thin soap screen which results in some nice lacing. Nose is mild with chocolate mainly coming through. Taste is cocoa and mild coffee with a bitter hoppy finish. Thin mouth feel. It’s a decent session porter, but there’s nothing robust about this robust porter.

Pours mahogany with a tan head that dissipates quickly leaving little lacing behind. Very nice roasted coffee and chocolate aroma. Interesting taste, starts out with the roasted coffee and chocolate flavor that quickly turns bitter and very dry from the hop presence. Updated 3/7/09 enjoyed more the second time around

A very well crafted brew. Pours dark but not cloudy. A thin thin head. Aroma is strong but sweet. Mouthfeel is smooth and flavor is a little tart but overall very flavorful and worth a try.

Had this beer at the great divide tap room on draught. I had it after the Hercules double IPA and it was a nice change of pace. Pours a deep mahogany, with very little head. Roasty aroma. Had a nice soft flavor, fully of roasty malty flavors. The roast was so complex and deep that I kind of sat at the bar and stared at the beer for a while, I probably looked really drunk.

Black color, coffee / choc. taste and aroma. Sweet with some hops. Bitter dry finish. More malt than hops.
