Butte Creek Porter

Touted as an “Organic” Porter

6.1%abv
12 oz bottle
Butte Creek Brewing
Ukiah, California, USA
My Strength Rating: 4
organicale.com
Appearance: Dark brown body with a thin tan head.
Taste: Light coffee style, 60% dark chocolate but nothing special, mild roasted malts.
Mouthfeel: mild carbonation, smooth, and a big watery edge that keeps it too clean. There is a nice roasty malt aftertaste left on the tongue.

The watery profile mellows the flavors more than I would like. This is drinkable. Good for an introductory beer to the porter style for those who have not had one before. I’d skip this one.

At $12.00 a six pack – forget it!
