MOCHA MACHINE
Mocha Machine is a bold Imperial Porter from Beachwood Brewing, the celebrated Long Beach, California craft institution. It pours a deep, near-opaque mahogany-black with a creamy tan head that lingers invitingly. The aroma is an indulgent wave of freshly roasted coffee, bittersweet dark chocolate, and subtle vanilla, with a warming undercurrent hinting at its considerable strength. On the palate, rich espresso and cocoa dominate, layered over a full, velvety body that carries notes of dark toffee and roasted malt. The finish is long and satisfying — slightly bitter from both hops and coffee, with a smooth chocolatey warmth that makes this Southern Californian heavyweight a luxurious treat for any serious dark-beer enthusiast.
