Deep brown color with some hints of mahogony. Nose is bittersweet chocolate, dark roast coffee, caramel with heavy roasted malts. Bordering on bitter with a medium body. A pretty good beer if you like the style.

Really big formidable tan-white head. Dark, but not too dark... had a little reddish hue to it as well. Slight molasses aroma. Really interesting taste. Toast, chocolate, and roasted malts in the taste. It actually had an almost smoky taste. (on a side note I drank this after the bottle said to drink it).

poured a nice deep dark brown color. smelled of coffee and malt with a slight hint of sweetness. not a very thick beer yet not very thin either. i’d buy this one again definitely.

hearty, like drinking a pint of over toasted home made bread. St. Peter’s has a very full bodied taste, smooth yet tettering towards strong (in context of porters obviously). Also, I would comment that the Aroma was appreciably rich, and did well to whet one’s sense of anticipation towards the ensuing deliciousness.

Pours near black with reddish hues and a thin foamy, mostly receding tan head. Aroma of dates, nuts, chocolate and crystal malt. Taste has light notes of chocolate, brown malt, and crystal. Moderate sweetness. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with lush carbonation.

Not my favorite stout by any means...tasty none the less. Would enjoy more if chocolate was more present. The aftertaste to me is a bit metallic almost. Definitely worth a try.
