Deschutes - Black Butte PorterImagine my surprise when I was offered this handcrafted beer from Oregon by a friend who had moved out west in the past year! First off, let me tell you about this pour and aroma: smooth pour, little head (likely due to the many miles from Oregon), and a smell like walking into a chocolate shop. This porter is sweet and delectable! Chocolates dominate without weighing down this brew - it’s smooth the whole way and leaving a lingering mild sweetness on the pallet which only got better as I continued my glass. A very crisp flavor is somehow achieved without strong hops to finish off the drink. Tim, I’m sure everyone you gave one of these beers will be most appreciative. I will have to persuade some local establishment to try and get Deschutes in regular stock in this area.

Specs: 12 oz bottle
5.2% Alcohol
