Highland Black Mocha Stout

Brewed by Highland Brewing Company
Style: Stout
Asheville, North Carolina USA

This beer hits you with a lot of flavor up front, and the finish is a little metallic as others have noted. It’s a good brew, but I prefer their outmeal porter.

Mild coffee aroma with a hint of cream within. Flavor is a smooth caramel with a roasted coffee finish. Just a little bit too dry, otherwise perfect.

bomber acquired from ucusty...pours a coffee colored dark brown with a short lived head...poor guy:(. aroma is woody with bitter dark chocolate and lightly brewed coffee. flavor is the same with the addition of some ashiness and a smoky aspirin hint. very light bodied with medium carbonation. acidity level and richness better resemble a decent porter

22oz - Thanks to my bro in-law for scooping this one up - Black pour, tan creamy head. Nice stout aromatics of french roast coffee and white chocolate cream, with an soft underlying tone of oatmeal and molasses. Roasted coffee and dark chocolate flavors pulls out hints of toasted cherry at room temp. Balanced well and rounded by a slight tangy-like hop bitterness. Light to medium bodied, light carbonation, drying, lightly bittersweet finish. This would be near perfect for putting away a few...

pours dark black with thin tan head. light lacing. smokey syrup aroma. Chocolate,coffee, and metal? overall a decent beer.

Poured a dark brown with a tan head. Has hints of coffee, chocolate, and spices. Finished fairly smooth, I noticed it had a slight metallic taste. Overall pretty good for what they were trying to do.

650 mL. Opaque black with a medium, not-lasting head. Aroma is blackstrap molasses and wood smoke. Big flavors of chicory coffee and earthy wood, with slight metallic sour cream and chocolate tones. Palate is medium-bodied, watery, prickly and dry on the end.
