Highland Black Mocha Stout

Brewed by Highland Brewing Company
Style: Stout
Asheville, North Carolina USA

On tap @ Barley’s. Pours black with a lasting medium off white head. Significant lacing. Aroma is dark chocolate with light roasted notes. This was a very easy drinking beer. Flavor had the same dark chocolate as the aroma but included a sweetness not expected from the nose. There is roasted coffee that appears more during the finish. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this beer.

Chocolate hits you first thing in the nose,quickly overtaken by roasty coffee beans ,distinct, but not overpowering, taste is a great blend of the chocolate and coffee, but not exactly mochaish, coffee and hop bitterness in the finish,light medium body at first lightens up even more as you go. Very nicely balanced, almost a session type of brew

pours jet black with nice creamy head with good lasting power. aroma is of chocolate and coffee. sweet smooth flavor. roasted espresso stood out the most to me with a semi bitter aftertaste. light to medium palate. very drinkable and enjoyable.

Highland Black Mocha Stout is very dark brown in color and has dense, foamy tan head that lasts pretty well. The remaining crown leaves a nice vine-like lacing pattern on the glass. The aroma is very dark chocolate with some roastiness as well. Semi-sweet choclolate and coffee are blended together in the robust, roasty, and well crafted flavor. There is a lingering coffee flavor in the finish. This beer has a medium-full body with very fine carbonation. It is actually a bit lighter the palate than one would expect a beer with this kind of flavor to have. The result is a smooth and very drinkable beer. 12 oz bottle from decaturstevo (Dec 2006). Thanks again Steve. Only one more beer from our first trade to go - the Southern Tier Jah-va Imperial Stout!

Love this stuff. Huge roasted chocolate flavor, my favorite of Highland’s offerings right next to the Oatmeal Porter. Reccomended.

Bottle. Chocolate and burnt wood malt aroma. Opaque black-brown color with large tan head and nice lacing. Nice chocolate and coffee malt flavor - extremely smooth with light hops and charcoal finish. A great beer - a stout I could drink anytime.

i didn’t use to be a stout fan but i find myself becoming more enamored with them. can very much taste the chocolate and of course, bitter coffee. this was the 2nd best beer of the night.

Bottle at Taco Mac, TN. Pours black color with a large frothy light brown head that was lasting with excellent lacing. Moderate roasted chocolate malty aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Medium sweet roasted flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of long duration. This is a solid drinkable beer.
