Rich, dark auburn in color with a frothy cappuccino head, Mocha Belgique offers pleasant, fresh roasted coffee and cocoa aromatics with a hint of black currant. Chocolate character up front is enhanced with the fluffy mouthfeel imparted by our distinctive Belgian ale yeast. Black Hand’s well balanced coffee provides a lingering roasty finish.

Bottle courtesy of Nisse666. Pours dark brown with a rather small mocha head that doesn’t leave much trace while dissipating. Smell is sweet with lots of dark roast coffee, green chili, bitter chocolate, roasted malts, wood, vanilla, smoked chili and moist soil. Taste is sweet, bitter and earthy with sweet dark bread, dark roast coffee, vanilla, bitter chocolate, resinous wood, roasted malts, moist soil and green chili. Mouthfeel is round, tiny tart and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with roasted malts, dark roast coffee, bitter chocolate and moist soil. Coffee and green chili aroma and taste is too prominent.

Poured from bottle at SAVOR. Poured a dark brown color with a small tan head. Aroma was notes of espresso, dark chocolate, vanilla notes. Flavor was chocolate, earth, a touch of coffee. Mouthfeel was a bit thin for what I expected, but I enjoyed the flavors. Seems real hit-or-miss on here. Perhaps some QC on the coffee beans?
