Mocha Porter
Appearance: If viewed from a distance, or poorly lit room, this would appear jet black. Upon closer inspection, there is a mahogany hiding behind the dark black. Smell: Coffee, strong columbian coffee, is the scent that pervails. Overall, the smell could be described as robust. Taste: Smell is a good indicator of taste, this beer is no exception. The initial flavor is a splash of fresh strong coffee, that is rounded out by hints of dark chocolate and tart fruit. It then mellows out into an aftertaste that is a mixture of mild hops and coffee. Mouthfeel: Decieving in the sense that the tastes "big" but it's mouthfeel is thin. This is acceptable for the porter style Drinkability: This beer has a bold taste, almost to a fault. Alittle of this beer goes a long way. I can't imagine drinking more than 2 in a sitting and still enjoying it as much as I enjoyed it at first. Overall a decent porter. Certainly not one of the best
