May 7, 2008 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.

May 6, 2008 While I can’t help but think that some one in Colorado had a bit much of their brew and made up the story about St Bridget, It is never the less a very nice beer. Chocolaty vanilla taste. Dark brown color whit a nice medium brown head Lingering pleasant finish. A nice beer.

May 6, 2008 bottle, lots of fruit nose, very creamy head, vanillla,chocolate almost overly sweet. I thought it was too carbonated for a porter but it was delicious and I would buy again

Apr 30, 2008 Pour is dark with very full and lasting tan head. Aroma was of strong vanilla, chocolate, and very light dark fruit notes. Taste was light chocolate finishing strong with more vanilla. This was a bit over carbonated for a porter and a bit sweet. Still not bad but probably will find a better porter for next time.

Apr 29, 2008 Dark, dark garnet with a medium, frothy, tan head. Aroma is surprisingly light; mostly chocolate and coffee; maybe a tiny touch of dark fruits. Flavor chocolate, roast, coffee, and a touch of vanilla. Medium-thick body; frothy; moderate sticky. Nice, easy-drinking porter.

Apr 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours a nearly opaque brown with almost no head. Aroma was deep roasted coffee, caramel, and molasses. Taste was bitter coffee, thin and a little watery.

Apr 21, 2008 Bottle into English pint glass. Pours an uncharacteristically translucent ruby brown, even without much light passing through, with a dusty, wimpy head. Aroma is more sweet and acidy than I would expect from a porter, although some roastiness and (the dreaded overdoing of) coffee make appearances. Even before catching the flavor my first impression is of how thin this feel in the mouth. Almost astringent. The flavor seems to skew towards the overdone tendency to coffee up porters, but there is a bit of a high-pitched roastiness, not nearly enough flavorful tastiness to it. In the end, I feel this didn’t live up to the robust nature that a porter should have.
