Oct 6, 2009 On tap at GABF 2009. Black in color with a medium tan head. Aroma is lots of coffee, and chocolate,along with roast and a hint of dark fruit. Flavor is exactly what the name suggests: coffee and chocolate (mocha). Some roasted malt as well and mild fruity esters, fairly sweet. Medium bodied with a little coffee/roast astringency. Not quite as good as the imperial version, but still no joke.

Sep 25, 2009 The deepest brown hues to a black pour, with a tan head that leaves generous lace. The nose is of roasts, some earthy tones, and chocolate bark. The flavors are indeed robust, with coffee, roasted malt, bitter and dark chocolates, some hints at dark esters and light smoke. The finish is nice and bitter, a tad astringent but welcome. Bold mouthfeel and complex texture, this is a nice stout from Highland.

Aug 27, 2009 Dark brown-black pour. The nose is quite lovely. A touch of light cocoa and mocha. Softly sweet with a bit of chewy light sweetness. Softly sweet with a kiss of cheap coffee flavour on the back. Less coffee than I would have imagined, but it’s there. It’s not bad.
