Electric City Mocha Porter
Black Eagle Brewery

 

definitely one of their better beers in here, i wish i skipped the pils and just had more of this one. its a nice porter as a base, a bit sweet as they go and maybe a little filling, but nice in the winter time, and this is super highly dosed with good coffee, maybe a cold brew thing, its low acid and high flavor, lots of chocolate character to it in nose and taste, but not all that darkly roasted to me, i get more of that character from the grain than the coffee it seems. subtle cola notes to this, dark chocolate, and caramel from an unnecessary malt sweetness. maybe a trace of smoke and burnt wood too, but its less about complexity as it is about warm and cozy coffee. fuller in body, under carbonated like all their beers i had were, and lingering long with both the coffee and the grain sugar on the tongue, but a pleasant aftertaste. this would be a nice morning beer, is cleaner on the fermentation than some of their others, and overall is pretty solid. i like the coffee they used a lot, and the process is flattering to this porter. some appreciable caffeine here too.
