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.

Pours a dark. opaque brownish black with amber highlights and a quickly fading half-inch tan head. Sweet, smokey aroma of roasted malt. Flavor is rich and robust: lightly bittersweet malt with hints of coffee, smoke, and pecan shells. A nice, well-rounded porter.

very nice look and aroma, although head is pretty small and dissolves quickly.... taste somewhat watery for a porter, expected better after the initial presentation

Bottle: Pours with a big 2 finger off white head. Dark but wih deep red highlights. Aroma is toasty carame malt. Flavor is the same. Very malty and toasty but no roastiness that i enjoy in a porter. I know a porter shouldnt be as roasty as a stout but this doesnt really have any. Its 1 note mellow malt toast. Not my kind of porter.
