Saint Bridget's Porter
Presentation: 12 oz longneck bottle with freshness info that isn't actually notched (does Great Divide ever actually mark these?!). Description of the beer on the label. Appearance: Pours almost black with a thin tan colored head that fades quickly. Smell: Sweet chocolaty aroma with hints of coffee. Very nice. Taste: Mmm .. chocolate and coffee with quite a few roasted flavors. Mouthfeel is slightly on the thin side for a porter, but otherwise quite tasty. Just enough hop bitterness to balance the nice roasted malt flavor and leave a fairly dry aftertaste that lingers nicely. Overall Impression: A tasty, well balanced porter. Much better than some of the lighter Great Divide Beers that have disappointed me lately.
