Butte Creek Organic Porter

Aroma is strong and smoky with a firm undertone of molasses, more than a touch of sweetness, and a strong hint of fine coffee - very tempting to a stoutie like me. It pours a dark transparent cola brown with a fairly thick pale tan head. Flavor is not quite as good as the aroma, but it is still pleasing - smoky and oily with tones of coffee and molasses. Only problem is there is a soapy or chalky hint - maybe this was not one of their better batches. Texture is smooth and a little edgy with a fair amount of fizz.

Dark brown beer with an amber hue. Thin tan head with decent lacing throughout. Sweet chocolate and roasty malt aroma. Chocolate cherry flavor with a roasted malty chocolate finish.

Ive had better. Overall not bad. Pours a clear brown with thin tan head. A little weak on the palate. Flavors of choc and caramel. Ok but prob wont try again.

Poured out zero head but it does have a nice rich, deep brown colour. The aroma is a bit on the mild side which is nice and consists of mild chocolate, some coffee (does not overtake the aroma), roasted malts and a slight fruit. The taste is pretty good with a good mix of heavy roasted malts, chocolate, coffee and bitterness. The mouth feel is nice and smooth, very appealing, fine carbonation and a perfectly mild bitterness. For whatever reason, I have no urge to ever drink one again as it was very forgettable.

Extremely dark brown with zero crown this looks crappy. Smoky chocolaty aroma with slight hints of coffee, strange I think I smell apple. Taste is nice and rich, coffee but not to strong, chocolate, and yes its apple I’m tasting. After taste is relatively clean with just a touch of coffee bitterness remaining, mouth fell is maybe a touch thin. This is drinkable but to sweet for me, why drink this when I can have Samuel Smith Taddy

Bottle. Brown pour, light tan head. Roasty and toasty on the nose. Flavor is smooth wtih some sweetness, fruit and vanilla. Very light roast detected, but not much.

Thanks Daknole. This beer’s thick tan head launched from the bottom of the glass on the pour. It showed patience requiring retention. Aroma is fruity and unlike most porters in that no roasted malt is noted. Flavor does have plenty of coffee. It includes dark fruit, anise, powdery chocolate, and pleasant hops. It finishes sour with chocolate. An enjoyable porter and, in my opinion, an underrated one.

Bottle. Pours a brown body with a tan head. Roast y malt and coffee undertones. Caramel with some light vanilla and dry woodiness. Thin and slick with a hint of minerals.
