St Peters Old Style Porter

Dark ruby body with a medium creamy light brown head that rapidly diminishes. Sweet malty aroma, some caramel and molassas and a hint of peat. Dry molassas flavor with a light coffee ending

Pour is a dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is nice with dark chocolate and butterscotch. Flavor is a big let down. Starts smooth but finish is tart and watery. Nothng real great and the cream stout is much better.

THOUGHTS: I’ve always wanted to try one of the St. Peter’s beers and never got around to it until now, and I think I’ll try another. This is great. A tru porter. Nice coffee and chocolate notes in flavor and maybe just a touch of licorice. I’m not ga ga over Brittish ales but I don’t think I’ve met a Brittish porter I haven’t liked yet. Very crisp. I could drink this all night. Great bottle too. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a dark reddish brown or black when not in direct light, with a small to average, creamy, tan head that mostly diminished and left good lacing. The aroma was light to moderate caramel, chocolate, mild coffee and roasted and nutty malt and some licorice. The initial flavor was moderately sweet and lightly bitter, while the finish was light to moderately sweet and moderately bitter with an average duration. The body was medium and both dry and watery with soft, but lightly fizzy carbonation.

Brown with a red hue and an OK head. The aroma has nice notes of chocolate. the flavour has notes of coffee, roasted malt, chocolate and a bit of licorice. I think it’s OK, but I would like it to have more complexity, and I prefer the Cream Stout.

Pours super dark clean amber with a small whitish head. Getting a light raw coffee and ash aroma. Flavor is quite thin. Light bitter malts, mild smoke, and a bitter ash finish. Body is thin. Average.

Bottle at Cerveceria Oldemburg, march 07. Raisiny, plum aroma. Deep, clear copper color and a nice, medium, beige head. Taste is toasty, some caramel but a bit skunked. Medium MF, not intrussive. Nice pint, not great, but achieves.

From a bottle purchased at "Keller’s IGA" in Cincinnati, Ohio, and served at cellar temperature - This one pours a dark brown brew with a creamy tan head of foam and a strangely light-for-a-porter malty aroma. Tastewise, there’s nothing light about it... there’s a complex swirl of chocolate, coffee, and malt flavors to this one that trails off into a cherry-like finish. A good beer!

Very good traditional porter with a flat chocolate and molasses, quite thick. Nice bitterness in finish
