Great Divide Brewing Company's Saint Bridget's Porter

One of my favorite breweries. Not one of my favorite porters.

Pours fairly light. Opaque once in the glass, it pours almost like a schwarzbier or a doppel bock. A little too transparent for a porter, if you ask me. Reddish highlights straight through the glass, instead of at the edges. Decent tan head for a porter, it stays a little longer than most.

Grainy, slightly vinous smell.

Roasted grain taste, with more grain and more tannins. Tastes very good, but it has a lackluster body that a porter shouldn't have an is unbelievably weak out of this brewery.

With a bigger grain bill this could be a much better beer. Great taste, but dragged down by the feel.
