On tap at Shannon View Inn, murky black coffee-roasted smoked chocolate entry and dryest black licorice spell coerce easygoing medium-full body. In the canned version, day-old coffee linger envelops cacoa nibs bittering and dark chocolate resilience, allowing the teensiest dark floral nuance to spread acrossa the dirty mocha finish.

On tap at Coalhouse Pizza, searing oats-toasted hop char deepens rich black coffee bittering and caramel-burnt dark chocolate roast over charcoal-tarred acridity of ebony-browned full body. Tobacco chaw, raw molasses and espresso illusions thicken robust mocha-dried theme. Black cherry hints come and go.

Surprisingly amber-toned for mocha porter. Like Saranac, most Horny Goat beers seem slick and blue collar in approach. However, the efficient chocolate brownie-like entrance and cocoa-puffed toffee dollop of this dusky moderate body make a convincing pair. Nevertheless, disturbing diacetyl buttering gets in the way of less effective cacao-nibbed vanilla, gingerbread and honey nut dalliances.

On tap at Copper Mine, dry-hopped black coffee overtones enrich oats-charred walnut bittering contrasting black chocolate-y hazelnut sweetness. Stove-burnt coffee souring and ashen peanut shelling dot mocha nuttiness.   

Creamy vanilla sugaring gains heady milk chocolate rush, weakening a tad as hickory-smoked hop roast reaches mild coffee bottom. Thinning maple-sapped molasses sinew fails to deepen vanilla-frosted sweetness informing thematic vanilla latte and vanilla bean illusions. On the nutty backend, brown-sugared cola-hazelnut conflux contrasts ample walnut bittering.

Historically accurate 18th century mocha porter drapes unsweetened molasses sinew onto prominent dried cocoa entry, sweet dark chocolate midst and ancillary hop-charred nuttiness. Peat-y malts provide dirty earthiness to toasted oats backdrop.

Old-styled tan-headed brown body compares favorably to San Miguel Dark Lager. Smoked chocolate malting and brown-sugared burnt caramel sweetness contrast sour dried fruiting. Wood-singed tinge saddles ancillary cola-walnut-hazelnut conflux, soy-sauced cappuccino undertone and roasted tobacco crisping. Sweet bourbon whiskey afterburner kicks in by molasses cookie-daubed Mild Dud finish.
