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.

Delicious robust porter. Dry with hints of coffee and chocolate. Nice hops flavors as well. I like this porter very much and could drink it regularly. Not quite as great as Crooked River’s wonderful Robust Porter out of Cleveland but damn close, very close. This is truly Delicious.

Highly recommended. Not sweet. Smooth and enjoyable. This is on the lighter side of porters, I’d say. It begs the question: Who is this St. Brigid and why is this tasty brew named after her? Is she the patron saint of porters? In fairness, this is a touch bitter.

Very coffee-ish. Aroma is not too unique for the style, pours a black, slightly translucent color, no noticeable floaties. Flavor of strong coffee, chocolate. A bit dry in the finish. A bit of burnt toast mingles with the sweet middle and hoppy finish. A very good representation of the style.

Pours very dark with a small, thin head. It smelled sweet and slightly "roasty." The taste was similar to the smell; sweet and roasted. Great finish - nice and full. This beer has everything I look for in a beer. The only thing that could make this better would be a bit stronger finish. Great beer! Probably a top five!

Always bee a fan of Great Divide and they’ve never let me down. The aroma is somewhat "small" but you can definitly detect the chocolate and the dark barley in there. Hits the tounge with a coffee explosion. Very smooth.

initially aroma is of chocolate covered cherries, but dies down quite quickly and reminds one of Cheerios. It is a very dark beer allowing only a modest amount of light to penetrate. Heads is somewhat thin and off white. Appropriate for the style. in the mouth it is somewhat thin but very tastey. It tastes of piupe smoke and slightly sour fruits. very tasty and balanced. Overall, this is my favorite porter. I like this a great deal and look forward to drinking much more of it.

Exudes with coffee, chocolate, and a some ’burntness.’ Carbonated and full-bodied, bringing the mouth a dose of thick, mouthfeel. Residual sweetness lingers on the roof of the mouth. Has that nice, zingy bite of hops that I yearn for in a porter. Quite enjoyable.

Nice robust porter. Great chocolate roast coffee flavor. Very drinkable. Quite tasty. One of the better porters i have tasted.
