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. Rciesla (4064), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

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. Capa (1033), Yokosuka, Japan

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 19, 2010 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.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 15, 2010 Not bad. Not a world record porter but good. Some chocolate notes. Some roasted malt flavors. Not much aroma. Pours dark brown. askofficerfriendly (344), Riverview, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Jan 12, 2010 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.
