Black Butte Porter
Black Butte Porter is the beer the brewery traces its beginnings to, named after a volcanic peak in Central Oregon. Dark chocolate and crystal malts give notes of cocoa, coffee and a touch of toffee, while wheat lends a creamy, rounded texture. Cascade and Tettnang keep the hops in the background with a slightly earthy, floral note. The body is medium and smooth, and the finish dries out with a gentle roast.
