St Peters Old Style Porter

Light bodied, but with a nice dark pour. Some malts and fruits in the aroma with a roasted flavor.

Bottle as shown. Aroma is coffee, fig and chocolate. Taste is surprisingly bitter (yet fruity), with dark chocolate and tobacco notes, no hops. I did not expect to like this, but due to the bitter, not-toffee-ish, not-biscuitish finish this one is actually drinking quite nicely. More of a winter beer, of course.

Aroma almost nonexistent and what was their was fairly nondescript. Dark roasted malt and nothing else, really. Crystal clear chestnut pour with a little bit of reddish highlights and a creamy eggshell head that left clumps of lacing. Flavor is a little coffee, a little chocolate, and a lot of malt. Medium mouthfeel if not somewhat prickly/fizzy. Meh.

Bottle. Pours dark opaque brown, off white head. Aroma is caramel chewy, port, raisins. Flavor is caramel and port, roasted nuts, anise, pine. Thinner body than I expected but that just makes it easier to drink.

Bottle as shown. Pours a dark amber with a medium creamy light tan head that lasts awhile leaving behind good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a sweet roasted malt with chocholate and fruit. Thin mouthfeel with a roasted malt flavor with a nice bitter finish. A good porter from St Peters.

Pours to fairly opaque reddish-brown with a thin, off-white head. Nose is roasted malts and fig. I was surprised with the complexity of this one. Flavor profile includes caramel, toffee, chocolate, and finishes with a slightly bitter roasted coffee note. Maybe a little thin on the palate, with a non-hop bitter aftertaste from the roasted malts. St. Peter’s has never impressed me, but this is a very drinkable, but highly complex beer that I will certainly be buying again.
