St. George Porter weaves a complex tapestry of flavors in a black, ruby colored ale. A rich malt base, typical of St. George Ales, results in caramel and chocolate tones, classically balanced with English bittering and aromatic hops.

Poured a watery black with brown hues with a thick and creamy white head. Astringent aroma, no hop or roasted aroma to speak of. Flavor of strong roasted malt, oaky and smokey. Finishes with a coffee flavor. As far as porters go, this one isn’t great.

From notes: Bottle courtesy of Immy. Pours black with some brown tinges. A bit of lacing. Aroma is very present - thoroughly enjoyable - mainly chocolate roast. A nice presence of butterscotch. Taste is lighter and watered down compared to the great aroma. A bit of bitterness at the end.

A deep amber beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with a quite strong berry presence. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruits, some what stored, leading to a dry end. Not very Porterish, but OK.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a beautiful, clear mahogony with a warm, reddish hue. Small, off-white head. Aroma of hard roasted malt. Medium body with lightly sweet, roasted malty accents with a discreet ashy edge. Subdued bitterness in the finish. Courtesy of Santa (Immy). 160806

A 12-oz single cost me $1.49 at Whole Foods in Charlottesville. Pours nearly opaque with a giant brown head. Aroma is full of deep roasted nuts, coffee, bitterness... ahhh. I need a candle that smells this good. Flavor is a lot thinner than I had expected- though still good. Not overly bitter, but full of cold coffee and chocolates. Tasty, but not strong.

This beer pours a dark but not quite opaque brown with a medium thin beige head. Thin and quick lacing. The aroma consists of roasted coffee, milk chocolate and malt. Medium-bodied with a nice blend of chocolate, malt, coffee and hops in the flavor, and there was a nice underlying roasted malt aftertaste throughout the glass. The finish is lightly bitter hops. Overall this is an enjoyable Porter, maybe not quite as good as Edmund Fitzgerald or Fuller's but solid all around.
