Rogue Mocha Porter

Rating: positive


I wouldn't have known this was mocha from taste or smell, but if they say so I'll take their word for it. No noticeable coffee or chocolate. As a porter though, this is good stuff. Dark, bitter, flavorful.

Old Dominion Baltic Porter

Rating: positive

Wow. Unexpectedly flavorful, maybe a smoky taste? Burnt? Whatever it is, it's a really strong flavor. Usual good porter characteristics are there as well: very dark, not too carbonated, not over-hopped. A little bit of a sour aftertaste, vaguely similar to a Belgian ale. One of the better porters I've had recently.
