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.

Smooth, light, chocolate... Pours pretty light in color for a porter, too. Easy to drink and the maltiness comes through well - but that’s one of the only hints you get that this is a porter. Like a porter-lite!

Malty and sweet, with a strong coffee flavor. Dark pour with a light head. Smooth and fairly light, with cereal flavors. Good. On tap at RnH.

Pous slowly to a medium, thick, tan head. You can smell the chocolate before you taste it. Rich fruity flavor assaults your taste buds and refreshes the palate. Has slight bitterness, but it is a porter. Leaves you begging for another.

12 oz. bottle- Pours dark brown to black with a tan frothy head, aroma is of some coffee and dark chocolate malt, but not much actually. Taste is great, good coffee and chocolate flavors and has a very dry finish. Overall this is a very good if not great porter.

On tap at Rattle n Hum. Pours a clear cola brown with a medium to thick creamy light mocha head. Light roast and chocolate malt with a touch of caramel.. Nice roast, char, and light coffee flavors. Finishes up with a bit of warming alcohol, some roast, and a little bit more char.

This beer was very average. I was expecting more adter seeing this rating of 80. It’s almost like ’porter lite’. Everything from the color to the light mouthfeel to the simple finish. A good porter should be darker, have a strong roasted malt flavor, and a complex palate. This beers lacks any true character. Worth only a sip.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a bit of a red hue and a light brown head. Aroma is full of malts leading to a grainy and roasted flavor with an undertone of acidic coffee. Flavor is full of roasted malts with a bit of acidic coffee.

Pours dark brown with Cola highlights and an off-white head. Light aroma is slightly bready, with some dark malt. Flavor is big on roastiness, and coffee with a touch of vanilla and smoke. Not bad.
