Great Divide St. Bridgets Porter (St. Brigids)

pours a dark brown with a red tint when held up to the light, a medium size dark beige head, and great lacing. smell of milk chocolate, weak coffee, and a touch of sour malt. taste is smooth and creamy, sour malt, cocoa, coffee, and a touch of roasted nuts, ends a little bitter and on the dry side.

Nearly opaque brown-black with a medium and mostly lasting head. Aroma of chocolate pine. Flavor has smoked pine hop with cocoa and molasses, raisins, some scorched brown sugar and toasted marshmallow. Wow! Finish is excellent: tingly-bitter herb hops balancing all the malt complexity. Palate is medium-heavy and tingly with both hops and carbonation. Almost a stout with some extra hops; very nice! Way underrated

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Deep brown with red highlights. Sizeable, creamy, light tan head. Good head retention and great lacing left behind. Aroma: Roasty nose with notes of earth, chocolate, plum, and coffee. Yum! Flavor: Light chocolate notes, earth, mineral, bitter roasted notes, a bit of coffee, and a good dose of malt sweetness. This is a great porter! Palate: Soft, Medium-low, carbonation with an oily, medium-rich mouthfeel. Long, roasty finish. Overall: A must try for porter fans. A great brew that is sure to please.

bottle, pours dark brown with a tall brown head. Nice roasted malt and cocoa nose. Full roasted malt flavor with some coffee and bitter chocolate in the finish. I liked the drinkability and flavor of this.

Bottle from Friend’s Thanksgiving. Not as strong as other porters I’ve had.

Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of toasted and dark chocolate, light herbs and earth for the hops and yeast, with hints of vanilla and black olives. Head is huge, frothy/rocky, light tan with fair lacing and is fully lasting. Color is clear dark brown. Initial flavor is lightly sweet and moderately acidic, and the finish is lightly acidic and bittersweet. Palate has a great combination of a medium to full body, a creamy texture and a carbonation between livley and fizzy. It finishes lightly alcoholic. Robust is an apt description of this Porter. It’s full of flavors yet simple aromas, and is very well balanced.
