Rogue Mocha Porter

This beer has a great aroma of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malts. The color is black with a red glow and a fine brown head. The flavor is thin in the beginning, but then You are hit by: malt, roasted bread, chocolate, wood, and coffee bitterness. A lovely flavor except for the weak start.

First rating 2002-02-25: Brown-black. Coffee and grape aroma. Bitter, but a bit on the thin side. At least that is what I have written in my notes, but after reading others note on this I guess I should get back and re-rate it. (7/10 5/10 3/5 4/5 11/20)
Re-rate 2002-10-25: Funny, I’d all forgotten this rating, but came to nearly exactly the same conclusion. Almost black with rich head. Light coffee nose. Some crystal malt profile. Rather sweet.

(Bottle 65 cl) Almost opaque with just a faint, reddish hue and a small, beige head. The nose has some roasted, coffeeish notes. Rather light in body with burned malts and a very dry, bitter finish. 270106

Very dark brown colour. Full rich character is chocolatey, a bit nutty. Hop bitterness is moderate, which I find appetizing in a porter. Very full, smooth body. Goes down reaaaaallly easy. Great stuff, an old favourite.

Bottled. Clear brown coloured with a medium sized beige head. Roasted aroma of coffee with notes of liquorice and chocolate. Roasted flavour with notes of coffee, liquorice, chocolate and hops. Well balanced.
