Deschutes’ Black Butte Porter is incredibly dark, especially for a porter. It tastes more like a stout than anything else. It has a wonderful chocolate aroma and a nice, bitter aftertaste. This is my favorite beer that I drank in Portland.
Henry Weinhard’s Summer Ale is too light for a summer ale. Summer ales should have a citrus taste to them, and some kind of aftertaste. This had neither. It was incredibly smooth and had a very mild taste. Not a bad beer, but not great either.
Widmer has always been one of my favorite Heffeweizens. It’s fairly light for a wheat beer, but has an excellent tang of citrus to it. It goes down quick, hits easy, and
I have drank other beers in this country, but I can’t remember what half of them are.
