Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Also available brewery conditioned and cold filtered in 500ml bottles.
This fine beer is a blend of a mature old ale with a younger light beer - just as a true Porter should be. The marriage produces an extremely characterful brew which is dark in colour and complex in taste.

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.

bottle - Pours dark brown with a thin head. The aroma is roast malt and chocolate. The very enjoyable flavor follows suit, featuring lots of roast malt, a good chocolate accent, and mild hops that shows up mostly in the lingering finish. I think it could be rated a bit higher on average, but it looks like their choice of bottles is sometimes leading to skunked beer. That’s too bad. Mine was fine and it’s a very good porter.

Deep, dark color like oil. Think 2-3 finger head with some lacing. As I drink more I see a deep, ruby red color on the sides. One of the sweeter porters I’ve had, but a good bitter aftertaste. Not as smooth as some others, but interesting flavors from the blend of beers. Cool bottle with a great appearance, nose, palate, and good (not exceptional) flavor. Would definitely buy again.

500ml Bottle. Faint smell of silage. Tasted of freeze-dried coffee and roasted malt with a hint of double cream. Leafy hops and roasted coffee malt on the finish. The texture was of frothy warm ice cream.

The color is like motor oil. Chocolate, coffee, malt and a hint of floral is what I could pick up. Very thick body bitter finish and smooth mouth feel. The Beer taste like chocolate, coofee toasted malts. a hint of molasses and bit piney and earthy. overall a good stout..

Bottle at Jerusalem Tavern London. Dark brown with a red glare, beige creamy head. Lots of chocolate aroma, hints of vanilla. Good roasted flavours, bitter chocolate, dry finish. Medium body and carbonation. A great beer, no doubt.
