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.

Poured a mahogany color with off-white head. Scents of chocolate and coffee. To me, it looks better in this old-style bottle than in a glass. I prefer Original Flag Porter and Road Dog Scottish Porter only because I expected more from this beer.

Bottle. Pours with a dark brown, relatively thin body, and a small brown-white head. Nose is faintly molassessy. A very nice toasted malt flavor with just a hint of molasses sweetness. Palate is thin, but not disappointingly so. A very nice beer.

1 pint 0.9 oz bottle with very interesting shape and color. Antique looking. Very good porter. I was very surprised. Not to bitter at all. Nice strong coffee, and dark chocolate flavor. Scents of molasses. Very good. Buy this if you are a fan of porters.

Arguably my favorite porter to date, St. Peter’s comes in a subtly tinted bottle, so the pour is a surprising dark mahogany instead of deep brown. Roasted aromas give way to chocolatey taste and a very smooth mouthfeel. A beer to be savored in small sips.

Sampled with Stegosaurus and Beerded_one. Dark Brown pour with small head. Chocolate malt aroma and taste. Went down smooth. Not bad at all.

The amber fluid glistens out of the bottle into the wide rimmed glass, leaving a modest, yet well-laced, cream head. As this brew moves toward your lips, the whiff of gently alcoholic, roasted barley caresses your nostrils. The brew pours gently past the lips and across the tongue with a surprisingly, and somewhat dissapointingly, light mouthfeel. The limited carbonation, detracts from, but does not negate the mingling of malt and cracked barley, flirting gently with roasted walnuts on the tongue. An altogether credible English porter, like a promise of salvation in the wilderness of American dreck.

500ml bottle bought at Jerusalem Tavern in London and shared with Finn and CatweazleTroms at our arrival in Norwich early on a Sunday afternoon.
Delicate bottle design as always. Small off-white foam over a deep mahogany body. Dark malty aroma. Flavour of coffeebeans, cocoa and malt. Medium palate and easy to drink (24.09.2006).

Bottle 0,5l at The Jerusalem Tavern Clerkenwell London EC1 20 Sep 06. Dark red coloured. A creamy head. Some roastedness but overall impression is watery.
