This award winning porter by Rogue doesn't disappoint. Double Mocha Porter is exactly what I expect from
a chocolate beer and the excellence I know I’m going to get from Rogue Ales.
Aesthetically, I’m a fan of Rogue’s painted bottles; and
this is one of them. Besides looking
good there is a practical reason for painting the bottles . . . the less light
that can penetrate the bottle to skunk the beer the better, as far as I’m
concerned.
This beer pours dark as dark with a fluffy coffee-with-cream
colored head. The aroma is simply chocolate
and espresso . . . drooool. I didn’t
really drool but my mouth thought about it.
Double Mocha Porter is a very smooth and drinkable
beer. For an 8.5% ABV beer that’s a
dangerous thing. Luckily, we only had
one bottle.
Overall, this is an excellent Rogue offering. Two thumbs up.
