St Peters Old Style Porter

Aroma kinda weak , Flavor....metal Taste too it(tin).And was Thin on Palate. over All...not too Impressive...........

Poured a deep brown with a thin off-white head. Aroma was sweet, not enough smoky, coffee smell for me. Flavor was also too sweet with a bit of roasted malt, but brown sugar dominates. Watery mouthfeel. Not all that impressive for what I paid for the bottle.

Poured thinly brown with very little head. Dry, smoky aroma. Some bready malts. Flavor reminds me of burnt venison - wood and ashes. Rather limp mouthfeel leaves a little bitter coffee in the mouth, but not much else. Not quite insubstantial, but close.

Botle, poured out somethign just short of opae brown with reddish highlights and a thin off-white head that laced considerably. Nice roast smoky malty and dark chocolate aroma. Very dry toasty flavor and a potent malt body. A little thin on the tongue, but smooth with a nice lingering taste.

In the bottle at the HyVee Oktoberfest beer tasting in Council Bluffs. Dark brown with small/no head with a few large bubbles. Smoke aroma, crisp palate. Flavor is a bit sharp – perhaps this beer is a touch to young, or overhopped for the style.

Bottle at Jerusalem Tavern in Farringdon (London), a dark ruby colour with an off-white bubbly head. A light smokey aroma, would have loved it to be stronger. A light to medium mouthfeel, good roasted flavours with a hoppy tang. Quite tasty.

Chocolate and Black Cherry is apparant in the nose. The appearence very black with a tight off-white head. The finish is quite short and overal a little thin for this style.

Nice, rich color, but very little head. Faint lace. Semi-sweet, stale coffee aroma and taste. Grassy notes, as well. Quite bitter finish. Not a real good example of this style.
