St. George Porter

My Million Beer March Tasting. Sample from a bottle thanks to nearbeer. Dark dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is chocolate, vanilla and licorice. Roasty. Taste is a bit vegetal, then big licorice, vanilla sweetness, some molasses, chocolate and roasted malt.

This seemed like the aroma was a lot better than the flavor. The aroma was coffee and vanilla and burnt toast. The flavor was the same, but not the intensity suggested by the aroma. Still, a tasty and enjoyable brew.

12oz bottle courtesy of Dyan, thanks! I have never even heard of this brewery but I was impressed by this beer. Dark brown-black color with a nice coffee-latte colored head. The smell was my favorite part, roasted chocolate malted. The flavor deviates slightly from the aroma but is still in solid porter territory. Easy to drink, try it if you get a chance.

12 oz. Opaque with a lasting quarter-inch of creamy foam. Smells of earthy chocolate, caramel, light apple and sour cream. Flavor is a great blend of all, plus some ash and char on the finish to dry the big malt. Medium-heavy body is smoothly carbonated, lightly prickly on the tongue and drinkably chewy. Nice soapy lacing. Great American homage to the traditional British style.

Bottle. Dark brown pour, small tan head. Aroma has some chocolate, roasted malt and some molasses. Flavor is a bit dry and has some chocolate, toasted malt and a bitter finish.

12oz bottle. Pours deep brown, with a tan head. Strong cocoa aroma, caramel and raspberry aroma; very reminiscent of black forest cake. Roasted chocolate malt flavor, with some ash and hop bitterness at the finish. Body is a bit thin. Not bad.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with a finger and a half oatmeal-colored head. Strong aroma of mocha and toasted malts with notes of nuts a bit of sweetness, perhaps even citrus. Malty, chocolaty flavor with a strong, smoky finish. Not too heavy but full of flavor. An impressive bres.

Nice deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, pit fruits, prunes, caramel and light brown sugar. Medium to Light-bodied; Strong assertive malts with a good caramel sweetness behind. Aftertaste shows some complexity, but pretty light - especially for the style; more caramel and sweetness comes out, but a bit of the bitterness from malt still remains. Overall, a good but not overwhelmingly good beer. I’ve preferred others from this brewery over this one. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia, sampled on 23-January-2009 at home in Washington.
