Sorry this post is a little late, we got a little carried away with a new beer last week which prevented the posting of this beer. So without further adieu, here's a review of a very interesting little porter.
Beer: The Great Divide Brewing Company's Saint Bridget's Porter.

Robby:
I would just like to commend whoever designed this beer label. Never have I seen so much information crammed in such a small space look so pretty. Well done! As for the beer itself, not too bad. This is a good beer to start an evening off. Full of flavor and bite, but 2 or 3 would be my limit. I wouldn't say it's the best dark beer I ever had, but it's definitely worth trying. 7 out of 10 with label. 6 out of 10 without.
Keith:
HEY PORTER! Yes, as a drinker who doesn't take too kindly to dark beers, I actually will greet this one with a smile. Not too heavy or too robust, but has a good toasty flavor. Its a bit filling, not sure that I would drink more than 3 or 4 at once, but definitely a bit lighter than most dark brews. From Great Divide Brewery in Colorado, I've realized with this first taste of their beers that I'll definitely have to explore more of their line. Overall, I'd give it a 7 out of 10.
Ashleigh:
First sip was good, really good. Second through sixth sip were also really good. After that, I realized this is not a beer that should be contained in a bottle. The porter-ness of this beer was definitely on the bottom of the bottle. This porter deserves a glass.
So I have a hard time judging this one. I can't give it a ton of praise nor can I bombard it. I'll give it a 6 out of 10. Would have given it higher but the people at Great Divide need to inform their loyal drinkers to get up off the couch and walk their lazy asses to the kitchen for a chilled pint glass before they pour up one of these porters. Come on Great Divide.
