St Peters Old Style Porter

Bottle, great aroma lots of molasses, and warm malts, very subtle hops. Taste is rich and complex but doesn’t finish too sweet at all, this is the way I like an english porter not too sweet, but still malty and with a full mouth feel.

Bottle. Pours a dark black with little to no head. After I poured it into the glass and took my first sip, I did not like it at all. It had a strange taste of smoke, wood, and liqorice. However, after a few more sips, this beer grew on me. I think after you pour this beer, let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes beer before you drink it. The nice flavors of subtle smoked coffee and chocolate come out. Decent english porter.

This Porter cost $3.85 for sixteen ounce bottle from my local Northcoast Coop here in Eureka, CA.. Poured a very clear mahogany and a small timy bubbled creamy off-white head and nice lacing. Very attractive. Nose was malts and chocolate. Good solid mouthefeel. Flavor was of coffee and dark malts. Finish has light hop bitterness. Taken in total, this was a quite decent English Porter, and was worth buying again at this price.

Bottle: As the thin dark brown beer is poured in a glass numerous tiny bubbles form and remain awkwardly ontop. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, and bitter hops. Taste is flat. Overall an uninspiring porter.

Chocolatey aroma, somewhat backed by hop. Nearly opaqe brown color with a tan head that laces a bit. Starts with a thinnish mouthfeel, but definitely with chocolate. Roasted malt is almost missing, and there is a slight hint of sour (possibly the mature old ale). Eventually some toasted malt is apparent, but not until the liquid has left the mouth. A few sips killed the head, but not the flavor. The Energizer Bunny of porters - the flavor is going and going and going. This porter is a stand out.

500 Ml Bottle-Poured mahogany/black w/no head, like a porter should! Had a definate chocolate hopped aroma. Had a smooth up front flavor of hops, chocolate, licorice & coffee. Did have a little carbonation, but not much. Very smooth & drinkable-very enjoyable. Not quite as heavy as a stout, very easy drinking, you could enjoy a few of these!

16 oz bottle, Stateline Liquors. Pours a clear mahogany to light brown body under a small fine bubbled creamy beige head. Aroma is rather dry with alot of crystal and chocolate malt. A little grainy in nature. Light notes of licorice and coffee with cream. Flavor is typical of many of the English Porters that make their way to the US. Fairly dry with a light hop bitterness, chocolate malt, light licorice, and coffee. The standard formula. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with moderate fizzy carboination. A little bit husky and grainy. Overall, this was a pretty middle of the road, but an easy drinker and enjoyable enough.

Pours black with a thin beige head. The aroma is pleasant, with malt, chocolate, and coffee notes. Flavor is fairly complex, starting out with a malty caramel flavor and a subtle chocolate, smoke and wood finish. A very nice and easy going porter.
