St Peters Old Style Porter

Brewed by St Peters (UK)
Style: Porter
Bungay, England

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.

Bottle: Pours a dark brown almost black color with a minimal dark brown head. Sweet coffee dark chocolate bread scent to it. Flavor is a very good mixture of hops and dark chocolate. A very good porter.

Thanks for sharing Yaniv, I think. Pours a cola brown with acreamy light tan head. Flat milky nose. Lightly sweet. Soapy floral hops. A smidge of chocolate? Thin body, a bit fizzy. Not too much going on here. Lightly sweet. Skunked soapy floral hops. Lingering bitterness. Some weird uninteresting chemicals.

Aroma is of roasted malt, caramel, sugar, and slightly of coffee. Pours an opaque and very dark brown with very little tan head. For some reason, this one looks like it will be thin on the mouthfeel. My immediate impression of the flavor is that it is hoppier than expected and more bitter; it doesn’t over power though. The flavor is a bit complex... in addition to the present hops, there is a definite flavor of roasted barley malt with a little chocolate. A little bread, oats, and fruit as well. There is also a strong coffee flavor. And the mouthfeel is a little on the light side. A lot of character in this beer... I quite enjoyed it. 1 pt. 0.9 oz. bottle.

Bottled 50cl. It pours a dark ruby beer with a small mocha head. (rather pale for its style though). The nose is wonderful. There is the typical St Peter’s characteristic which can be be found in this beer: Lots of candy, honey, fudge, wild strawberries and herbs. This beer reveals some plum and a lot of roasted malt in addition. The taste is similar, though a lot more bitter and a bit cloying. Indeed, a nice strong bitterness. Soft mouthfeel nevertheless. A lot of oats showing up. Bready with candy and honey appearing again. Light bodied. Rather salty which makes this porter a bit cloying afer a few sips. Some licorice. Bitter finish with a hint of eucalyptus. A good beer. Decent taste, wonderful nose.

dark brown pour. Tastes of chocolate. A good solid example of a porter. I wouldn’t buy it again immediately but would recommend to someone looking to find an easily available solid porter.
