Mocha

Tap to rate

A dark stout, smooth, malty and well rounded. Genuine Arabica coffee, fine Belgian chocolate and locally grown roasted barley malt give it rich, enticing flavours at 6.0%. Goldings and Challenger hops sit on Maris Otter, crystal, wheat and pale chocolate malts. Sold as a 500ml bottle and, now, a 440ml can.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Mocha

◎ Appearance

Deep brown-black color with excellent opacity, characteristic of a well-crafted stout. The dense, tan head settles into a persistent collar that clings to the glass with notable lacing. Carbonation is restrained, allowing the beer to present a dignified, composed surface.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with roasted barley and genuine Arabica coffee notes, followed by layers of fine Belgian chocolate and subtle dark cocoa. A light toasted grain backdrop supports these primary impressions without overwhelming them. The hop character remains restrained, allowing the malt and adjunct profile to dominate.

◐ Taste

The palate is smooth and full-bodied, with chocolate and coffee arriving together in the entry and sustaining through the mid-palate. Rich roasted malt complexity builds on a soft, creamy foundation provided by wheat and pale chocolate malts. Bitterness from Goldings and Challenger hops is measured at 28 IBU, providing structure without harshness or drying the finish.

About Stout

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Stout?

Stouts are dark ales with roasted barley character, 4–8% ABV and IBU 25–45. Expect coffee, dark chocolate and toast flavors with a creamy body and dry finish.

Finding a similar Stout

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same chocolate, coffee, malty character as Mocha will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
