Deschutes Black Butte Porter

Deschutes Brewing-Black Butte Porter (Bend, OR) 5.2%ABV:

Very dark brown with a clinging tan lace that seems to stay for a while. Smell: Mildly sweet in                   the nose with hints of charcoal, roasted malts and a touch of hops. Taste: Silky smooth with a nice medium bodied mouth feel.  After the luscious mouth feel come the flavour which is quite malty ... light acidic twang from the roasted malts, a little dark roasted coffee flavour and an                   underlying toasted biscuit taste are balanced with a perfect combo of hop and roasted malt                   bitterness. The lingering after taste is of faded burnt sugar, drying grain and a slightly                   warming alcohol. A wonderful yet delicate hop character helps to round this brew.
