Pours dark brown to black with a tan head. The aroma is chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is heavily roasted to burnt malt with a lot of dark, bitter chocolate. Medium, creamy mouthfeel and medium carbonation. One of the better robust porters I have tried and one that everyone should try.

Bottle. Pours a black body with a tan head. Malty chocolate notes, some light roast and a coffee esk bitterness. Bitter with a mild dry palate able finish. Nice session porter.

Pours black with a brown head. The aroma is of chocolate and coffee. The taste is chocolate and coffee and is a bit like a mocha esspresso. Very tasty malty flavor. Drinks eveny better if let warm to room temperature. This could replace my mocha espresso in the morning quite nicely.

Dark brown with a tan head. Aroma was soft, but had lightly roasted malts, some molasses, vanilla, too. Creamy, soft body. Flavor of malts, roasted, light cocoa, some vanilla, milk. A very nice porter. Could throw down pint after pint of this.

Deschutes Brewery Black Butte Porter 12oz Pours dark brown with a hint of red. Thick creamy tan head. Smoky aroma of roasted wood and malt. Flavor is much the same as the aroma. Smoke, roasted malts and coffee. Approachable for a beer as dark as this. Oily mouthfeel. Won’t scare off anyone, but won’t impress the aficionado.

bottle thanks to secret santa, pours a dark brown with red hues. Medium frothy tan head. Aroma is roasty with chocolate and biscuit malts. Flavor is a soft roasted malt, some oat character and smoothness, rounding out with a bitter black patent finish. Very nice session porter.

Not bad. Not a world record porter but good. Some chocolate notes. Some roasted malt flavors. Not much aroma. Pours dark brown.

A: Pours a medium brown black color with an average head. The head fades leaving a cap and little to no lacing. S: Nice malty aroma. Some chestnut and chocolate malt not much else. T: Nice and smooth, I like my porters a little more creamy though. The taste had hints of chocolates and nuts, some dark fruits were also hinding beneath. A hint of smoke was noted as well. I would have liked a touch of sweetness in this one. M: Kind of average in body, on the thin side if anything. D: Pretty drinkable.
