Deschutes Black Butte Porter

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.

Bottle sample thanks to Adil- Pours deep brown letting in just a bit of light. Has a frothy mocha cap that lasts. The aroma was intense mocha, coffee, dark chocolate, and quite roasty. Tasted of black coffee with dark chocolate, bitter roasty dark malts, a bit slight milk chocolatey sweetness helps round out the bitterness. Solid long lasting finish leaves me wanting more. Quite a treat. Thanks Adil!

Wow... just wow... Gorgeous mocha coffee aroma. Nice black in color with an awesome dark chocolate and licorice flavor. Like I said, wow, just wow.

black with some ruby highlights. Sweet malts, a little hops. quite a typical porter aroma, not overly impressive. Typical sweet porter flavour with some coffee notes. Thick and chewy. As with many american craft "porters" it has qualities of a stout and of a porter. Pretty good but i generally dont apreciate this much roastiness in a porter.

Thanks to beeruser for this one. Pours cola brown with an off-white head. Nose is dark chocolate, roast, cocoa, coffee, bitterness, and earth. Flavor is balanced and lovable chocolate, cocoa, earth, and roasty coffee. Excellent coffee, roasty, somewhat dry chocolate porter.
