St Peters Old Style Porter

Fair amount of toasty, buttery maple/caramel porter goodness. Somewhat pronounced hoppy finish. A decent porter.

Bottle at The Rake in Southwark, London. Pours a dark brown-black with thin off-white head which dissipated almost immediately. This had a smell of smokiness . The taste was smoky as well with malt and some hop bitterness. Hint of coffee, but overwhelmed by smoke. This had a crisp mouthfeel and wasn’t bad, but not great.

From a round, olive green bottle. Pours dark brown/mahogany with a small off white head. Smell makes it seem sweeter than it will in fact be. This is a roasty porter with a bit of charcoal smokiness, but not too much. Quite dry, with some Belgian yeastiness too. Body is a bit too thin with more carbonation than I’d like. Still good; maybe not great value, though.

Nice porter with loads of notes of coffee. I like really. Almost no head and light and mild in its flavor. Biscuits, bread and not too wild.

Brown with ruby highlights, eh head. All of the things that you could expect a in porter just in lower levels. I expected more out of this.

Dark brown with red highlights and a decent tan head. Aromas of chocolate and toast with a hint of coffee.Taste is not as complex. Hops seem to dominate a little much, a little coffee.

pours deep mahogany, high lights of deep red, fluffy tan head with lovely lacing. aroma of roasty, sweet malt, grain, chocolate. flavor is smoky, coffee , chocolate, perhaps some dried fruit. medium bodied mouth feel, dry finish. didn’t really enjoy this.

(Bottled 500ml) Distinct narrow greenish bottle. A slow pour produced a minimal head and a dark brown and black body. It’s smooth taste beautifully complemented the roast I had with it. Overall a very tasty beer with a hint of caramel and chocolate.
