    Mokah

    Name – Mokah
    Country – United States
    Type – American Imperial Stout

    Appearance – Pours completely black with a tan head that is gone pretty quickly.

    Smell – Awesome chocolate smell with a backing of roasted notes.

    Taste – Bittersweet chocolate upfront followed by some roasted malts and an ever so slight coffee flavor.

    Mokah is Southern Tier’s child (not bastard) of Choklat and Jah-va’s never ending relationship.  And as you may remember I am quite the fan of Choklat.  But as you probably know as well I am not a fan of coffee stouts.  Was this rough for me?  Not at all.  The coffee taste is just barely present in the back of the taste.  The chocolate comes through way more but this is definitely not as big as Choklat.  It’s more subtle and in many’s opinions easier to drink.  I can agree with that slightly but still the over all chocolate flavor of it’s father is just so delicious.  But this is an amazing beer as well.  If you like chocolate stouts that taste, well, like chocolate then definitely try this.

    Overall Grade – A

    Red Racer IPA

    Name – Red Racer IPA
    Country – Canada
    Type – American IPA

    Appearance – Poured a very clear orangish color with a nice size white head that left some lacing on the glass.

    Smell – Very nice citrus hop aroma.  I get grapefruit and orange.  Some piney notes as well.

    Taste – A lot of citrus taste to it with the same fruit I mentioned before.  Nice bitterness to it at the back.

    This little old can was left all by it’s lonesome at the end of the night at my party on Saturday so I decided to give it a home.  I poured it into my awesome glass that you can get at your local neighborhood Funky Buddha (and by local and neighborhood I mean the Boca Raton, FL area).  I was really pleased with this one.  It’s no secret I dig grapefruit notes in IPAs so this hit the spot.

    Overall Grade – A-
