Draught at Tangent Café, Vancouver, as North American Porter, 5.5% ABV
The color is almost black nit has a good body structure, and it focuses on the chocolate rather than the roastiness (appreciated) with a light liquorice touch.
Nicely constructed.

Draft - Solid pils grain notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Grains and a nice biscuit sweetness but I was hoping for that skunky bitterness.

Draft - Lots of roast and dark chocolate. Jet brow and light brown head. Dark chocolate and syrupy sweetness. A bit too sweet for me, but still decent.

Hazy amber with a bubbly head. Nice big floral hop nose. Rich bitterness and a touch of chewy, floral taste. A bit cookieish, too.

Cloudy tan. Aroma is earthy continental hop, bit spicy, too. Full body, spicy hop and moderate bitterness. The yeast shows through a bit in the finish, so it’s got a " New World Zwickel" sort of character.

At the brewery. Cloudy light tan. Little head, light dusty yeast aroma with herbal hop, moderate bittersweet and a dash of peachy ester. Solid stuff.
