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.

Poured an extremely dark brown color with a nice slightly off-white head that lasted a while. Aroma was dominated by chocolate and coffee. Flavor was also of chocolate and coffee, but was balanced by a nice hoppiness. Mouthfeel was good and very drinkable.

Bottle. Nearly black in color with a creamy, slightly off-white head. Rich aroma of roasted malts, coffee and bitter chocolate. with the hops lurking in the background. Nice, smooth creamy palate and flavor of those same malts and bitter chocolate plus a bit of hop bitterness for good measure. I enjoy a good porter and this is a very tasty example.

12 oz bottle. Pours a light brown with a thin off white head that recedes to a thin film and leaves some lacing.

The aroma is sweet and roasted chocolate malts with some vegetal notes.

The flavor is sweet lactic chocolate with a roasted coffee finish with decent bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium to thin and watery.

Overall, a decent but pretty unremarkable porter. It is one of GD’s better "regular" beers.

12 oz. bottle pours a black color which turns garnet when held up to a lamp. Slight tan head. Blackened malt, bittersweet chocolate smell. Light to medium bodied. Dark toasted malt taste with toffee and coffee flavors. Finishes with a bitter burnt malt taste. This beer didn’t do anything for me.

Bottle, bought @ Ølkonsortiet, Aalborg. Pours a deep brown with a medium foamy yellowish head. Aroma has lots of dark chocolate, lightly roasted and sweet. Fin and lightish mouthfeel. Flavour is quite ashy dry, super roasted with dark coffee powder. A little too sharp and one-sided, but dries out well.

Great beginner’s stout. Smooth finish, and a nice bite. Not quite a beamish, but cleaner than a guinness

Pretty good porter! Nice pour but with barely any head. Smells like sweet chocolate and tastes like a ROBUST flavor of coffee and chocolate. Nice and chocolaty!!!!
