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 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.

[bottle - 12 oz] Brown pour with red highlights and a quickly disappearing tan head. Mild aroma of roasted coffee, burnt malts and chocolate. Initial bitter coffee taste goes to a smooth and chocolaty middle and a flavor that’s mixed a little with malts and the slightest hop bitterness. Smooth and bitter coffee finish. Very, very tasty.

Deep dark mahogany body with nice tan head. Roasted coffee nose. Some chocolate. Light bodied for a porter. Flavor keeps the essences of coffee and chocolate and a hint of citrus trying to poke its way through. Good stuff.

Bottle. Nice creamy aroma with some sweet liquorice notes. Very dark brown colour, small unstable tan head. The flavour is creamy, hint of liquorice. Ending with slight smoke notes and a little cardboard. Also has a little alcohol towards end, but not really strong.

Pours very dark brown with a thin tan colored head. Flavor is nice with a chocolatey with nice malts in the aroma. Over all a nice porter
