May 22, 2006 Hard to rate this one. Pours clear dark brown with no head. Aroma is heavily coffee and leather. The taste is weak. Good coffee, malt, and some bitter hops, all with an earthy feel. Watery mouthfeel. Finished like an ESB. Overall, this was good, I just wanted more.

Jan 28, 2006 . "Old Style" is a very apt descriptor, as this beer is not brewed as a porter, per say. Porter originally was a blend of two or three different beers, often referred to as Three Threads or Entire, and St Peter’s Old Style Porter is just that, a blend of an older mature ale, and a lighter ale.
St Peter’s Old Style Porter pours to a deep caramel/light brown color with a slight tan head that fades, and a soft carbonation. The nose is lightly malty with aromas of pale malt, a touch of chocolate malt, and a slight hint of roast. The palate is soft with flavors of pale and biscuit malt, and hints of chocolate malt flavor. There is light touches of yeasty/estery fruit flavors on the palate as well. This beer finishes biscuity up front, then is balanced with a slight, herbal hop bitterness.
This is a very well done old style porter, and I imagine this is what porter really tasted like centuries ago when it was a blend of two different beers. This beer tasted very fresh, and its soft maltiness and body made it a very quaffable pint. St Peter’s markets their bottled beers in a very unique green flask like bottle that is very appealing. This is a great session brew, I could see myself drinking a lot of this beer.
