St Peters Old Style Porter

Brewed by St Peters (UK)
Style: Porter
Bungay, England

A little light for my tastes. Tasted like a porter that had been watered down with a lesser ale..... kinda like a black-and-tan gone wrong. With that being said, good roasted notes, a little chocolate and coffee, but all where just too faint. If this were a bit stronger and more flavorful, it would have been wonderful.

Pours a rich reddish black with little head. Very nice coffee, dark chocolate and licorace notes on the nose. Roasted malt backbone with chocolate and smoke.

Black body with a small head. Heavy aroma of malt, liquorice, hops and smoke. Bittersweet malty and hoppy flavor dominated by smoke and English liquorice with some anise in the background.

Pours with a rich mahogony body and minmal head. Intoxicating aromas, cna detect hints of Molasses, and coffee. Rich and Refreshing.

Bottle. Poured dark brown color with an average frothy light brown head that lasted and produced good lacing. Moderatre burnt malt and coffee aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Medium balanced roasted flavor with a smooth roasted finish of moderate duration.

Pours a thin brown color with a medium tan head. Smells of yeast and sweet chocolate malt. Flavor is light on the palate with a roasted malt presence in the backend giving some bitterness. Seems like a middle of the road brewpub porter.

500 ml flask shaped bottle poured a clear dark reddish brown with a dissapating amber head. Aromas of bitter chocolate, mocha and some roastiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of bitter chocolate, roasted malt and some charcoal with a smooth slightly bitter finish.

Poured from bottle - and that’s an intimidating bottle! This is quite a porter. Great roasty smell that is matched in the flavor. Has that kinda oily, porter feel to it. Flavor intensifies as you drink. Finished just as nice as it started.
