Highland Black Mocha Stout

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

Surprisingly amber/brown for the style, big carbonation. Surprisingly translucent as well. Good notes of smoked sausage and chocolate, a blend of roastiness and cocoa, improving with time.

A dark pour with a tan head and light lacing. An aroma of coffe and roasted malt. A nice bitter coffe and malt flavor with a nice bitter finish. The palate seemed just a tad on the watery side and a tiny bit fizzy. A very good beer.

dark body with red on the edges and a tan head. alcohol in the nose, with chocolate & caramel. dry cold coffee taste. nice lingering bitter finish. chocolate flavor. smells better the warmer it gets. mocha flavor is present. not a bad one. thanks for sharing, patrick.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized tan colored bubbles that was mostly lasting and left behind a opaque uncarbonated dark brown colored body. The mild aroma was malty and dark chocolate. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish vinous aftertaste. The mild flavor contained notes of malt and mildly vinous. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

A bit thin but delicious and drinkable. Nice deep color, some coffee and chocolate on the nose and palate. I’d drink it again....not quite as good as my favorite Highland beers (Oatmeal Porter and Gaelic Ale)

Nearly black color with a smaller lid of taupe bubbles. Cocoa, dark chocolate and roasted malt greet the proboscis leaving no doubt this is a mocha brew. Fairly thin in feel. Flavors seem to go away from the mocha and go right for the dark and bitter malts. A touch of creosote and molasses. The aromas seem right, but the flavors are lost in translation.

Vanilla, sweet, carmally nose. Poured a rich dark brown. The flavor had sweet vanilla, roasted malts.

Thanks to NachlamSie. Black/dark brown. Creamy, grayish tan cap. Nose of burnt malt, ash, mocha powder, subtle fiberboard. Flavor steps up the chocolate and coffee, adds a light pine tree hoppiness. Smooth, medium body is a bit thin. Solid brew.
