Tap @ TFD: Brown pour with a finger of tan head. Aroma is sweet with cocoa and a light roastiness. Flavor is a softer in the roast department with the cocoa sweetness taking over most of the flavor. Some light coffee and hints of vanilla. A bit thin in flavor depth, but still passable.

On Tap at The Front Door Boise, Pours out a nice brown topped with a tall tan head. Aroma of sweet roast along with a nice malt. Tast was about the same plenty of the roast malts and a little coffee. Not bad.

Nitro at Beverage Place Pub in Seattle a month or so ago. Creamy, thick head. Very nice roast for a porter. A little coffee and chocolate in the taste. Lots of chocolate in the aroma. Very slight sour finish. Good.

Nitro at Schultzy’s

Pours near-black with the usual nitro head and creamy soft texture. The aroma is limited thanks to the nitro, but what is there is malts and coffee; nice roasty rather than vinous flavor, pleasantly dry for a summer afternoon. Not outstanding, no glaring flaws either.

12 oz sample bottle. Pours a thin looking black with a fairly white head. Aroma of lightly roasted malts and a light chocolate hint. The flavor brings a nice roasted sense to it while having a surprisingly balanced coffee and sweet chocolate sense to it. Not complex at all, a very straight forward porter style, but honestly, probably the best brew I’ve ever had from Lang Creek. A tiny bitter hop note ends this one while continuing on the roasted sense. Not bad.
