Dark and distinctive like Black Butte itself, Black Butte Porter uses chocolate and crystal malts, crafting a rich, approachable porter.

Great beer, one of my favorites when I'm out at bars. It has a nice sweet undertone to the heavier porter flavor, making it easy to drink. Definitely recommended.
Love Black Butte. Always good, easy to find and reasonably priced.
How can one go wrong when it comes to choosing an awesome porter? By not choosing this one!! This brew poured up a rich, dark brown colored body with a frothy one-finger head with good retention and excellent lacing effects on the glass. Sweet aromas filled with coffee, roasted malts, warm breads, and a hint of hops. Medium-bodied, silky smooth, and a rich malt-filled flavorful brew. There’s just enough hops to balance out with the malts for a nice, crisp finish full of flavors of brown sugar and grains. If you are going to be stocking up on porters, this needs to be part of your stash! Pair this brew up with your favorite grilled or smoked meats; for wild game this would be excellent with wild boar, venison, dove, ducks and squirrel.
This is a fantastic beer on tap. In the bottle, I feel quality has eroded over the years. Overall, a very drinkable porter with plenty of chocolate malt flavor and a noticeable, but not over powering, hop bite.
It didn't taste bad but it didn't taste like beer to me. It tasted savory, like a steak. Like if you could somehow wring out a steak over a pint of Guinness, this would be it.
Excellent porter.
