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.

Bottle. Dark brown color. Chocolate and malt, and coffee aromas. Flavor is sweet and roasty. A very well made porter.

Bottle. Black brown color, big orange foamy head. Molases and chocolate aroma with some raisin. Bubbly and light on the pallete. Taste is awfully bitter. Hopping was taken too far. Combined with the light watery tastes its not one of my favorite. Sour Porter.

Pours deep mahogany with a thick, holding tan head. What an awesome aroma! Perfect... chocolate malts, coffee, roastiness, sweetness/bitterness, light smoke, a hint of dark fruit... nothing wrong in the aroma department. Excellent for the style (or for the "malted genre" in general). Mouth is a little thin and dry, but the flavors are damn solid. Comforting, bittersweet chocolate... with just a drop of alcohol to remove you from your safety-zone. I’ve GOT to get out to Denver again...

Pours ruby-hued very dark brown with a big frothy beige head. Lots of anise, chocolate, and coffee in the aroma, with a nice undertone of caramel and dark fruit. Flavor is similar to the aroma, but mostly bitter coffee and chocolate are present. Palate is medium and pretty average. Nicely balanced and easy drinking, but still an average porter.

Roasted coffee and chocolate in the aroma, some vanilla. Pours dark brown/black. Big roasted malt up front, some coffee, chocolate smooth vanilla after taste. Not bad but nothing reall special

Strong toasted malt aroma with backing of coffee and chocolate. Dark brown color. Beige head that left rapidly. Starts with chocolate, but the tongue is quickly overwhelmed with harsh coffee. And the chocolate quickly comes back. Dry. I think there’s hop, but the coffee is strong enough to render that issue confusing. H... of a porter.
