Deschutes Black Butte Porter

Brewed by Deschutes Brewery
Style: Porter
Bend, Oregon USA

Mahogany pour produces a decent caramel colored head. Lots of cocoa, coffee, and even a hint of vanilla in this one. Not bad for a sessionable porter. Medium to light mouthfeel.

Bottled. Black but not to thick maybe even a little shade of brown with thin tan/beige head. Aroma is chocolate and roasted. Flavor is sweet and dry roasted and salty also still chocolate. Ends roasted and soft.

Wow what a brew! One of my favourites that I’ve had recently and really enjoyed. I love those good old hearty roasted porters. This is what i seek when i look for in an american porter. Something this big and complex. Super nutty with some cranberry sauce and a little baked apple pie on the palate. Love IT! Thanks Brando :)

12oz bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a clinging tan lace that stays for a while. Smell is mildly sweet in the nose with hints of charcoal, roasted malts and a touch of hops. Taste is burnt malt, expresso, roasty bitterness, chocolate and slight smokiness. A very nice well balanced porter.

Almost pitch-black, with a slight brownish tinge. Armoa has slight coffee character with some cocoa and pleanty of roastyness. Quite dry, with a smooth mouthfeel. Over all very nice.

12 oz bottle. Faint aromas of coffee, sweet malt. Weak head, below average lacing for a beer of this caliber. Pours midnight; reveals reddish hues when held up to the light. Despite it’s flaws in appearance, this is one great tasting beer. There’s a reason this beer has the reputation it does, and is among the most well-known craft beers in the U.S. Wonderful creamy mouthfeel, tastes of roasted coffee, hints of chocolate. This is one of the greatest straight porters on the market.

Pours a dark brown with minimal head. Has a dark fruit, mocha, dark chocolate smell. The taste is much the same with a dark malts/chocolate taste. Thick and chewy, this is a great bargain beer.
