Ruddy brown in color, a bittersweet balance of malt and hops, yet a surprisingly light and refreshing taste.

If you like coffee and dark malty beer, try this one! I loved it....
12 Ounce bottle poured into a pint glass.
Appearence: Pours dark, with a medium to small tan head.
Smell: Heavy malt aroma, coffee bean presence, didn't really notice any hop presence in the smell. As someone else said unsweeted chocolate.
Taste: I wanted a coffee porter and Rogue delivered exactly what I wanted. I found the taste to be exceptional, this being one of my most favorite styles. Heavy coffee after-taste, and roasted malty sweetness. Slight bittering hops presence.
Mouthfeel: Medium carbonation, crisp.
Drinkability: I went through the six pack and was craving more.

I like the bottle label artwork, great use of color. I do notice a bottled on date on top of the bottle. The pour is similar to black ink. The aroma is dark chocolate, some caramel, & toffee. The taste follows suit with the aroma along with some roasted malts & slight hint of some raisin. This is one of the best porters that i've had to date. Cheers! A-

12 ounce bottle poured into a tulip glass.
L---Deep dark brown. Was clear when poured through sunlight, but is impenetrable in the glass. Medium, light brown head with ok retention. Gently faded to a ring around the edges. Good lacing.
S---Rich with cocoa/dark chocolate. Faint hints of coffee.
T---Mocha, as advertised. It is rich with chocolate. A bit of a one hit wonder, not very complex.
F---Medium bodied with good carbonation. A dark beer that could be pounded.
O---A good effort by Rogue. It doesn't have a lot going on, but it's advertised as a mocha porter, and it hits on that.

Black liquid; no light passes.
Decent off-white head; strong lacing.
Medium mouthfeel.
Lactose sugar & raw oats in the flavor; hint of chocolate.
A milk stout vibe here.

Bottle poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewing Co pint glass
A: Pours deep ruby brown with a frothy tan head that settles to a light layer and leaves some spotty lacing.
S: Roasted malt, definitely some char, smokey, black coffee, a touch of dark baker's chocolate, earthy, slightly herbal, and a hint of dark fruit.
T: Roasty, some char and smoke, black coffee, a little baker's chocolate, earthy, faint herbal notes, hints of dark fruit, plum and cherry, and just a touch of toffee sweetness.
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation.
O: Neither coffee nor chocolate really stand out. It mostly just comes off as earthy and charred with hints of other things going on. I was really hoping for more out of this one, so if I get the chance to retry it I will. Hopefully it makes a better second impression.

A: Pours a fizzy one finger head. Almost completely opaque. Dark nutty brown.
S: Deep rich coffee, cocoa, and creaminess. Slightly toasty. Something that abruptly cuts the smell at the end. Maybe hops? Not sure.
T: Dark chocolate, toasted bitterness throughout, smooth coffee. There's just a twinge of sourness there that keeps everything in check.
O: Alcohol is almost undetectable. Dark and smooth. Typically when breweries specifies a flavor in the name of a beer they go overboard with it, but this is legitimately a porter that highlights mocha flavors.
