Highland Brewing Black Mocha Stout
Hops aromatics of pine, light green peppery spice, and dankness mingle with a distinct roast malt profile. The roasted malt is pronounced in the flavor with hints of chocolate and a tannic-like huskiness that seems to dry the beer out a bit. That and some distinct pine-forward hops notes create a fairly bitter finish.
