#117 Rogue – Mocha Porter



This beer smells like chocolate and dark malt. The color is an opaque black, that looks like chocolate. The head is light brown and not very thick.

The taste is a malty and rich. There is some hop flavors and bitterness to this beer, which isn't surprising from Rogue a brewery known for hoppy beers. The finish is bitter but not dry like other malt rich beers leaves a coffee taste. The mouthfeel is smooth and foamy.

I would have liked some more chocolate flavors in the beer, but I know that isn't the easiest flavor to produce. This is a good beer, there is some hops to offset the large amount of malt, and a nice smooth taste. Rogue brewery usually comes though with a good beer.
