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 brown color with ruby highlights and a thick, frothy, light brown head. Average aroma and flavor of coacoa and roasted malt with a dry finish. The body is light with an oily texture and moderate carbonation. Not bad but I’m used to better beers than this from Great Divide.

Bottled January 2004: Found this in the back of the cellar, must have slipped my mind for the past three years - whoops. I am pleasantly surprised to find very little oxidation here. Pours a shadowy ruby with a great foamy tawny colored head. Lots of dirty, earthy malts in the nose - rough coffee and bitter chocolates. Strangely enticing. Silky, creamy mouthfeel. The malts are more rounded in the body, displaying a much sweeter profile. Fudgey chocolate and vanilla are most noted. Ends creamy and full - robust in a word. Good stuff even three years later.

Very dark brown with an Ok, but quickly disappearing head. The aroma has notes of malt, chocolate and coffee. The flavour is slightly sweet with notes of coffee, licorice and a moderate bitterness. The overall impression is light, but quite nice. It’s easy to drink, and it must be a beginner-friendly porter. 1813

Black colored, little beige head. Sweetness, berries, coffee in rich aroma with oak and mild chocolate. Medium bodied. Flavor is more chocolaty with roastiness and coffee, nuts and sweetness with balancing hops also there. Aftertaste dries conveniently with lasting chocolate. Slightly too thin bodied.
