Black Butte

Black Butte is a porter from Deschutes, brewed in Bend, Oregon. At 5.5% ABV, it sits at the lighter end of the porter family, which traditionally emphasizes roasted grain character and dark malt complexity. The beer offers beer lovers an accessible entry point to the style without the heavier alcohol content often associated with fuller-bodied examples. Porters have long been prized for their balance of roasted flavors and approachable strength, making them versatile across seasons and occasions. Black Butte's moderate alcohol level positions it as a porter suited to extended exploration rather than intensity alone.

As one user put it: “4.5 - perhaps even a solid 5 Rich, smooth, chocolate & coffee flavors are dancing on my taste buds!”
