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.

Been waiting awhile for a great divide dark. Slight roast aroma with yeast. Not bitter hops but big initial flavor. Dark, not quite opague in my steelers mug. Roasty finish with just a light light bitter aftertaste. OK, not bad.

This develops a big tan head that fills with large holes as it tries to die off, sticking to the sides all the way down. Rich malt and chocolate aroma, almost like warm brownies in the pan. Sweet and choclatey, with a roast malt finish that’s slightly bitter. Nicely done.

I got this one in my beer club. I am not familiar with the brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a large creamy light brown head. The aroma was chocolate and roasted malts. The flavor is dry roasted malt and light dry chocolate. The roasted malt lingers dryly on the finish.

12oz. bottle. Roasty, lightly sweet aroma, some molasses and faint coffee to be found, along with suggestions of dark chocolate. Deep, dark red-brown color with a thinnish head. Flavor begins with some lightly bitter hops and background fruitiness, some faint smokiness detected, developing some roasty maltiness before a bittersweet, lightly tangy, chocolate finish. Somewhat reserved palate with a light-medium body. Years ago was an unfiltered beer, now is not. Suffers a bit for it, I think.

Bottled. Pours an opaque dark brown with a substantial and lacy tan head. Aroma of chocolate over roasty malt that has a touch of coffee and a tiny hint of hops behind it. Medim body and carbonation. Just a bit of sweetness in the taste with coffee, wood, vanilla and chocolate. Dry, slightly bitter finish.

From a 12 ounce bottle--Poured a light brown-amber body with a tiny clear head. Light, roasted, and mildly chocolaty. Great bitter bite in the finish and rich caramel and coffee notes. Very nice beer!

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquor - Pours a clear brown color with a good size tan head. Very light lacing. Has a strong roasted/toasted malt aroma. Has a grainy, dark malt, and light coffee flavor. No real hop flavor but the bitterness is there. Has a somewhat smooth, but dry finish. Light to medium body. A decent Porter and it’s worth a try.
