Highland Black Mocha Stout

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

pours jet black with nice creamy head with good lasting power. aroma is of chocolate and coffee. sweet smooth flavor. roasted espresso stood out the most to me with a semi bitter aftertaste. light to medium palate. very drinkable and enjoyable.

Highland Black Mocha Stout is very dark brown in color and has dense, foamy tan head that lasts pretty well. The remaining crown leaves a nice vine-like lacing pattern on the glass. The aroma is very dark chocolate with some roastiness as well. Semi-sweet choclolate and coffee are blended together in the robust, roasty, and well crafted flavor. There is a lingering coffee flavor in the finish. This beer has a medium-full body with very fine carbonation. It is actually a bit lighter the palate than one would expect a beer with this kind of flavor to have. The result is a smooth and very drinkable beer. 12 oz bottle from decaturstevo (Dec 2006). Thanks again Steve. Only one more beer from our first trade to go - the Southern Tier Jah-va Imperial Stout!

Love this stuff. Huge roasted chocolate flavor, my favorite of Highland’s offerings right next to the Oatmeal Porter. Reccomended.

Bottle. Chocolate and burnt wood malt aroma. Opaque black-brown color with large tan head and nice lacing. Nice chocolate and coffee malt flavor - extremely smooth with light hops and charcoal finish. A great beer - a stout I could drink anytime.

i didn’t use to be a stout fan but i find myself becoming more enamored with them. can very much taste the chocolate and of course, bitter coffee. this was the 2nd best beer of the night.

Bottle at Taco Mac, TN. Pours black color with a large frothy light brown head that was lasting with excellent lacing. Moderate roasted chocolate malty aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Medium sweet roasted flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of long duration. This is a solid drinkable beer.

12oz bottle via trade with decaturstevo. Aroma: Lots of roasted malt with notes of smoke, cocoa, coffee, cream, and some very light hops lingering in the background. A touch of dark fruit as it warms. Appearance: Dark brown in color with small brown highlights. Dark beige head was full and foamy with good retention. Great lacing. Flavor: Flavor follows the aroma. Lots of dark malt, coffee, cocoa, smoke, dark fruits, pine and earth hops into the finish. Medium bitterness. Some lingering roast after the finish. Palate: Medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Overall: Nice beer. Good flavors and a low enough ABV to make this a good session beer.

Dark brown like cola. Good roasted malt,coco,and light carmel flavors.Medium body with slight fizzy carbonation. Some chalk in the finish but mainly good bitter chocolate.
