St. George Porter

Style: Porter
Hampton, Virginia USA

Thanks MikeTD. Dark brown with thin beige head. Aromai s caramel and roasted malts. Flavor is nutty, caramel, and some roasted malts with a touch of chocolate. Nice roasted character and nutty finish with toffee and more caramel.

Bottle. Vague toffee and chocolate notes, but only vaguely, with some sort of diaperish ointment much stronger. Faint butterscotch and licorice. Ruby-coke pour with a soapy light brown head. Taste is full of classy dryness and faint bitterness, aftertaste and finish with a little more of each and a little curling hoppiness. Toffee and caramel, nice grittiness to strain through the teeth. Medium body is alternately crisp and smooth. Decent.

this is a lovely porter. i’ve had many good times in the city of hampton. Pours dark ruby with frothy tan head. nice lacing with a nice roasted malts & hoppy aroma. coffee, chocolate, a caramel. leaves the lips sticky as this is a nice low gravity porter

Had this in Colonial Williamsburg in a real old fashioned looking grog mug. This was a great porter that was great example of the style.

A fine porter with great bittery tones, caramel malts, dark fruits and I was blown by this one. I expected worse but got better. Its not the most balanced beer but the sweetness and elements make for an interesting beer. I wish their beers were a tad less watery though.

Bottle sampled. Pours deep bronze with a decent size tan head. Aroma of roast, fruit, choclolate, and caramel. the flavor is sweet, caramel, chocolate, fruit, and finishes with a fair amount of hoppy bitterness.

Columbia, SC. Green’s Discount Beverage, 12 oz bottle - part of a six pack mixer. Very dark brown - ruby red pour. Tight mocha head, decent lacing. Nice aromatic essence of coffee and dark chocolate. Flavor brings a molasses twinge sweetness with hints of chocolate and coffee and finishes with a salty blast. Thickish mouthfeel,

Aroma: Some roast, light hoppiness, some coffee, syrupy caramel aroma. Molasses aroma is kind of odd. Appearance: Low head retention, very dark ruber color. Flavor: Sudden rush of hoppiness and caramelly malty flavor. Same odd molasses flavor, pretty prominent in the finish. Palate: Medium bodied, no astringency, adequate carbonation. Overall: Ok, a little too caramelly, not enough roast. Molasses character that is evident is kind of off putting, and a strange soy sauce flavor also rears its ugly head.
