Southern Tier Mokah

Brewed by Southern Tier Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Lakewood, New York USA

Bomber. Pours headless, laceless opaque black. Full sweet body and mild carbonation. Sweet chocolate aroma. Sweet, and I do mean sweet taste of chocolate with with a dash of coffee. Basically a liquid chocolate bar. Interesting but unbalanced. Anyone who says this beer is ’almost’ cloying is being charitable.

Big thick black pour with a thin tan head. Sweet dark chocolate bar aroma. Dark chocolate malt, coffee taste. Finishes a little sweet. Fabulous.

Black with a brown head. Aroma is utterly sweet chemical chocolate. Flavour is similar but even sweeter with light chocolate flavours, taste like a milky chemical chocolate bar from a really crappy company. Imperial beer for under-aged kids with f**** up taste buds.

This is a dessert beer if ever I tasted one...would go well with cappuccino or chocolate ice cream. Dark mahogany pour that is translucent around the edges. Produces a 1/2 inch creamy latte head but nothing really stuck to the glass. Aroma is decadent: Godiva, Starbucks, vanilla, molasses, and brown sugar. Flavor doesn’t show the 11% at all. Instead, it’s sticky sweet with loads of caramel, cocoa, and vanilla bean. Not viscous and a little syrupy. Solid.

Very dark brown with a medium-sized tanned head that leaves some lacings. Basically just aromas of sweet chocolate and lightly roasted coffee. A gentle, powdery smell. Notes of roasted malts, vanilla and alcohol. The taste is very sweet with lots of sweet chocolate and sweetish coffee flavors completely dominating the taste. Notes of nougat and vanilla. Roasted malts. Not very complex or interesting, but in general the flavors are well integrated. The taste is less powdery than the smell. The finish is somewhat bitter with notes of roasted malts, wood, chocolate and sweet alcohol. Full-bodied, slightly too low on carbonation. It comes out as a bit heavy. I’ve had both beers that make up this blend (Choklat and Jah-va). I thought Choklat was decent and Jah-va compete mess, and this one falls somewhere in between. It very sweet, almost cloying, and this gets too much after a while. It’s reminiscent of a dessert without high quality dessert flavors. Serving type: bottle (Copy of old Beer Advocate review)

Bottle, 22 fl. oz. Pours a dark to black beer with a lightbrown head. The aroma is chocolate and so is the flavor. The palate is sweet. Overall a really chocolate beer.
