Highland Black Mocha Stout

rating this the day after from a stout tasting: 12oz bottle. near black pour with a spare light brown head. light molasses, caramel and chocolate aroma. taste followed suit. palate adjectives - oily, mineral, lively, metallic... but in a good way as I remember it.

Poured a dark black with a one finger brown head. The head disappeared quickly, but laced very well. Aroma is of roasted malt and coffee. Flavor is heavy roasted malt. The coffee flavor is drowned out by just a little too much malt. Good beer that could have been great.

I feel like the boys at Highland tried to carry this beer a little too far. It’s on the verge of being a great stout, but they must have added an extra scoop or two of grains. The result is a full-bodied beer with, sadly, a slightly chalky undertaste.

12oz via trade with GAManiac. Pours black with 1 finger tan head. Nose is very chocolatey. Taste is very mocha with a decent amount of coffee and chocolate and some bitterness presumably from the hops.

The best North Carolina brewed stout. Black pour, smells, tastes like it says. Excellent! Very drinkable.

Awesome low Abv. Stout. Great flavors of coffee, malt, and mocha. Easily the best stout I have had under 8% abv.

Cracked this open on July 4th. Right before the fireworks. Black pour with a nice head. Chocolate, roast and some coffee in the nose. Taste was much the same, pretty well balanced and not overpowering. A fairly drinkable stout. Big thanks to Daknole for sending this my way.

Very nice stout. Nice appearance and aroma. Flavor is typical for the style. Notes of chocolate and coffee. Good stuff.
