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.

damn tasty, nice thick hearty porter. A good malt character. More like a stout lite. Another good offering from Great Divide.

Pours with a dark brown body topped by a medium thick, off-white head with a good amount of lacing. It’s sweet and malty with underlying bittersweet chocolate notes. Medium to full bodied and smooth yet dry.

Dark brown with a reddish hue on the edges. Medium sized, off white head with no significant lacing. Aroma was roasted malt, coffee, bittersweet chocolate, cola and a fruit I cannot quite distinguish. Smooth, decently carbonated, medium-bodied flavor. Finishes dry with a hoppy, bitter quality on the back of the tongue.

12 oz. bottle into tulip glass. Purchased at some grocery store in Brookfield, WI sometime in 2004. Aroma: mint, yeast, bread, malty; smells fresh and lively, a nice start. Opaque brown with a beige head that fully dissipates. Tastes like Flag Porter with a bit of orange rind; finish is longer though, with hops that intensify at the end in bitterness. Yet another quality beer from Great Divide.

Pours with a four-finger tan head that fades slowly leaving a clumpy lace. Black - totally opaque. Good carbonation, heavy bodied not thin as rated in Sep2003. I think it is fresher this time. Nose is a smokey roasted coffee. Starts with a roasted sweetness and finishes like a roasted coffee. $1.29 for a 12oz bottle from the Liquor Barn, Lexington, KY.

Pour is a nice black. Aroma hits you full on with chocolate malts. Flavor is like a chocolate bar in your mouth. Very sweet and chewy. A nice try with this style.

This beer pours black with red-amber highlights. Nice lacing that lingers before slowly dissipating. Chocolate and coffee smells are clearly evident, as are hints of roasted malt and floral hops. Feels thick in the mouth. Thin-to-slightly creamy and dry feeling. Tastes of dark chocolate, burnt rye, and mocha. Very rich and yet not too dry but reating the dryness that makes stouts and porters what they are. The beer finishes with a slight hoppy bitterness, fizzy carbonation, and a warm alcohol feel. Very nice example of the porter style.
