Rogue Mocha Porter

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Porter
Newport, Oregon USA

Well, I had high hopes but this is no where near the Stone Porter or Flying Dog’s Porter or the Porter from Smutynose. I like Rogue but not for a porter.

Bottle pours deep brown, big sudsy head...smell of dark chocolate and cherry...taste is kind of dry, but sweet...somewhat flat and bland in my opinion...this bottle may have sat too long.

light impermiable deep brown, fluffy brown head, light lace. good looking beer. pretty airy to my nose, touch of coffee roastinees and caramel creaminess. flavor is roasty grain with coffee hints. medium bodied, creamy mouth-feel, coffee finish. i thought the bitter after-taste was a bit off-putting. omn tap at maple tree inn.

Very dark brown pour with substantial tan head. Nose is chocolate and coffee. Flavor is nicely balanced notes of chocolate, coffee, caramel, toffee, roasted malt, burnt grain, and touches of bitterness in the finish. Excellent beer.

dark dark pour with a lacy tan head. aroma of roast. Taste was also roasted with coffee notes. not a bad porter.

Thin dark brown opaque pour with a thick fluffy light tan head. Roasty aroma with heavy coffee notes. Sweet with lots of roast with choclate and coffee notes. Good easy to drink porter.

Bottle, The Cave, Glasgow. Enjoyed a few of these at the trailer park during the British Open , Turnberry 2009. Poured a super dak brown colour, near enough black, with a dissipating smallish tan head. Dark chocolate, malt and coffee aroma. Slid down nice n’smooth. Good level of roastiness in the flavour which was surprisingly well balanced and displayed similar characteristics to the aroma.. Hops revealed themselves in the finish which was a tad dry. This worked well and I would definitely have this again.
