Lang Creek Cherry Porter

Bottle, thanks Eric. Pours brown, with a red hue. Aroma is chocolate and cherries. Flavor is chocolate, roasted malt, and cherries. Body is rather light. A nice one.

Bottle courtesy of kyzr. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells of cherries and caramel. Tastes of chocolate, cherrie pie, some tarte hints and a touch of roastiness. Mouthfeel is velvety. Very enjoyable.

Bottle from John’s Market in Portland, OR. Dark reddish amber, very dark, with a pink tinged light head. Aromas of dark roasted malt, chocolate and dark fruit. Medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Flavor is cherry over coffee and chocolate. Goes down well. Reminds of chocolate covered cherries sans sugar creme. Finish is dry roast with cherry and a little coffee. Surprisingly good. Might make an aperitif. Woke me up.

12oz Bottle Pours out a dark brown with a little red. Topped with a brownish red head. Aroma of milk chocolate and roast malt. Tast of malts and a little fruit. A bitter end.

Bottle. Pours a nice deep brown with ruby red highlights. Aroma immediately brings Dr. Pepper to mind, so not a great first impression. But let the head settle a little and chocolate becomes much more apparent. The palate is nicely balanced with sweet chocolate malt and black cherries in a decent balance, although this is certainly leaning toward being a tad too sweet. Overall I enjoyed this, but I do have a soft spot for this kind of "porter hybrid" type of beer.

smells like a cherry pop, looks like a cherry pop mixed with root beer (uh oh!) - taste is actually better than I expected but tastes mostly like a sour cherry pop with unsweetened chocolate. Not much in the way of an actual beer in my opinion. Reminds of those old Diet Chocolate Raspberry pops flavored with Sacharin, so, in a word, yuck!

Dark red/brown pour. Hints of chocolate with a very subdued cherry taste toward the end. Great Flavor

Bottle: Brown pour with a nice sized beige head. Aroma is rich with chocolate cover cherries. Bits of roast. Flavor is more porter oriented than fruit beer, some nice roast and chocolate with a subtle cherry accent. Much better than I had expected. Still, the cherry flavoring leaves a bit to be desired.
