My Thoughts: Anytime you mix coffee and beer together you are doing a very smart thing in my opinion.  The pour of this brew is very dark with a medium brown head.  The smell filled my nose with rich coffee and roasted malt scents.  The taste starts with actually some bitterness!  A mild bitterness and smokey roasted malt start off with a little less coffee taste than it smelled, but still present and flavorful.  Also, here is where the chocolate flavor came in which really brought everything together.  The body is a little heavier than medium but not full, and the carbonation is the same.   I really enjoyed the Mocha Porter and wouldn't hesitate to get it again because of its great flavor and its great drinkability.
