Great Divide St. Bridgets Porter (St. Brigids)

12oz bottle, only couple oz’s sampled. First impressions: Very nice flavor and creamy texture. Its a straight forward solid porter. Will try more of this.

Pours very dark, medium head. Not much of an aroma that I detected, but the taste is outstanding. Strong, smoky coffee/chocolate flavor. Hops are barely noticeable. Leaves a pleasant aftertaste, solid porter.

Not a bad porter. It has a lot of dark chocolate and coffee in the aroma, after it pours a dark black with a small off-white head. It is a bit watery, but definite chocolate, coffe, and some hops in the swallow and finish. It’s good, but not the best.

Surprised this rates so low. Pours a drak brown, ruby color with a soapy, tan head. Aroma of malts, chocolate, and coffee. Complex taste matching the aroma with some hops at the back end. Not the best, but very enjoyable.

Bottle @ home. Pours in dark brown opaque producing a nice foamy two finger brown head. Aroma was roasted/chocolate malts and a faint metallic smell. The flavor was nice and malty with coffee, chocolate and roasted malt flavor. This massive malt flavor is nicely balanced with mild hopping. Mouthfeel is medium with a very smooth mildly bitter finish. A nice easy drinking porter which opened up as it warmed. A good not great porter.

A strange porter with a mysterious past. Decent enough to pick up at a store once in a while....like once a year.

Poured pitch black. Malty nose. Roast malt and cocoa with a hint of fruit and just a touch of hop bitterness.

Extremely dark brown......opaque. Thick, creamy head, though it fades a bit fast. Somewhat sweet, mild malt aroma. Roasted malt notes in the front......very smooth mouthfeel. Back is filled with hints of sweet chocolate and a slightly dry finish.
