Bottle at Dan’s. Pours a black colour, little head. Aroma of coffee, not much else. Taste is bitter coffee, chocolate. Was expecting much more, particularly from the name - not much of a mocha character, as opposed to a general, coffee character. Still nice, but disappointing.

Nice vanilla nose. Slightly too much carbonation, maybe gets a little in the way of the flavours, but there is a creaminess to back it up. Roasty, slightly dark chocolate and a little black coffee, but perhaps not enough to justify being a ’mocha’ porter. Not bad at all.

Bottle at home, thanks FaithHealer1! Dark reddish brown, thin beige head. Big roast barley nose, hint of cocoa powder but very little coffee. Prickly cocoa front, thin, hint of dark chocolate. Long roasty finish. Fine, not great.

Bottle: pours dark brown with a creamy tan head. It has aromas of chocolate and coffee. Flavors are tasty... Nice slightly bitter chocolate and tobacco, it really fills your mouth with flavor.

Bottle from great grogg, Edinburgh. Dark brown foamy cream head. Lemon and roast barley nose. Prickly carbonation, quite floral and citric with a dry chocolate finish. No sign of coffee though!

Bottle. Pours dark brown wit a beige head. The aroma is coffee, tobacco, hard roasted malt and light chocolate. The flavour is hard roasted with some coffee and tar notes. Roasted and tobacco finish.

Had today over at the in-laws. Picked up bottle at Dennis Bros. Opaque dark brown pour with nice head and lacing. Roasted coffee and chocolate in aroma and taste. Slight bitter finish and light to medium bodied.

Bomber. Pours a deep brown with some ruby highlights. Aroma is chocolate and coffee. Taste is toffee, coffee, light chocolate. Very tasty porter to quell an evening’s chill.
