Great Divide St. Bridgets Porter (St. Brigids)

Heavily roasted chocolate malt backbone. Light caramel notes with burnt coffee bean and some bitter dark chocolate. A tad thin and watery.

Clear dark reddish-brown pour with a perfect tan head. RIDICULOUS amounts of drippy panes of lace, leaving a great history of the beer level. Nice aroma of coffee, raisins, and malt, which make a nice base for the accent flavor of chocolate. Honestly, more like Nestle’s Quik than dark chocolate, but the flavor works well anyway! Overly thin for a porter, but the nice malty finish evens things out.

Botte as shown. Pours a very dark brown with a medium frothy light tan head that lasts awhile leaving behind good spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is roasted malt with coffee and sweet caramel. Thin mouthfeel and a bit watery on the palate. Taste is sweet roasted malt with coffee and caramel. Easy to drink a very good Porter from Great Divide.

Pours a dark brown with a moderate tan head with decent retention. Roasted malt aroma with coffee overtones. Flavor is a good mix of bitter coffee and sweet caramel malts. Just a hint of additional molasses sweetness. Mouthfeel is a little on the light side for the style, but not distractingly so. Overall, it’s not a great porter, but it’s solid and you could certainly do a lot worse.

Black with a tan head. Aroma is mainly coffee. Taste is coffee as well as some chocolate. Slightly hoppy with a somewhat sweet finish. Might be a little thin, but doesn’t hurt the taste too much. Overall, a good standard porter, and very drinkable.

A bit too thin for my liking. Has some decent coffee notes, and smokiness. I wouldn’t go for it again.

Brewed in the USA..... Pours a dark brown color with some amber highlights and a small tan head. There is a nice roasted malt aroma with some dark fruit and mild coffee. Taste of dark malts, earth, smoke and a hint of coffee. Mouthfeel is very malty with a smoky finish. Well balanced and drinkable !!!

Bottle. Pours a very dark red-brown with a tan head that dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma of coffee, roasted malts, and a touch of yeast. The flavor is much more hop-dominated (almost to the point of excess for a porter), with a touch of malts, bread, and coffee, and a smoky finish. Underwhelming.
