3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Not as impressed with this porter, fairly ordinary. Great off the first taste, but the finish is watery to me. Might of been a tad old. Chocolates, coffee, caramel.

Pours a dark brown with a small amount of tan head that disappears rather quickly. Aromas consist of roasted malts, cocoa, slight coffee, hops, caramel, and sweet cream. The taste is vary malty with a bitter bite. This really is a nice balance of bitter and sweet flavors. The sweetness comes through on the creamy undertones. The coffee seems to add bitter components. The chocolate comes in underneath. This seems lighter in body than some porters I’ve had but also very creamy. I think this might be because of the high carbonation. Kind of dry finish. This is a delicious and very drinkable porter. Rogue is becoming a favorite of mine.

black pour with a slight tan head. hits of malts, caramel, toffee and slight coffee. The flavor is big malts and caramel. Coates the palate very nicely with typical porter/ stout. Very nicely done.

Pours a reddish brown with a thick tan head. Nose is very sweet smelling but I’m unable to place it. Very sweet on the initial taste but finishes creamy with a nice coffee bite. Solid, but I prefer my beers a little more full bodied. Very drinkable. Good lacing.

A bit of a lifeless head on a black body. Is the mocha porter just a little more coffee than a regular porter cos thats what this is. This is definitely a porter though not really outstanding, alongside a mocha it is not so chocolately.
