April 19, 201411 yr Yesterday was an amazing work out. Back and biceps.On an unrelated note, my coffee cup has been replaced with something that must have the same density as a black hole.
April 20, 201411 yr Mokah is a brilliant stout. Mixed with my personal vape blend, Lateralus (a bourbon, cigar tobacco, vanilla mix) it is a kick ass flavor combo... plus with the Double Oaked I started out with, I am a happy flavor dude. Maybe I'll try to get some ass tonight, too.

April 20, 201411 yr I guess I should review the Mokah Stout by Southern Tier Brewing Co. This is in the Blackwater Series from STB, which includes Warlok, Choklat, Creme Brulee', and of course Mokah. These are all seasonal, with Warlok being a fall brew, Choklat an early winter brew, Creme being a late winter, and Mokah an early spring beer. IMO they need to kick the Creme to either a fall or spring brew, as the Choklat and Mokah are heavy, bitter winter like brews where the Creme is sweet. As many of you know, I tend to like a semi-bitter chocolate stouts. My favorite beer of all time is Southern Tier's Choklat. I am also a big bourbon fan, and have even tried many bourbon barrel stouts. I also enjoy your typical stout, but I tend to like milk, coffee, and chocolate stouts, with a preference to a semi-sweet stout. I also enjoy imperial stouts, but my penchant is for the more bittersweet and creamy stouts over the heavy alcohol flavor of an imperial. I am not a fan of IPAs, but do like Porters, Lagers and can enjoy a good Pilsner or some sweeter wheat ales (generally orange or cherry wheats). The beer is very good. On the pour it is thick, creamy, and it has a heavy dark head. It rides very bitter, with a slight chocolate and heavy coffee flavor. STB states it is a semi-bitter brew, but honestly I would run this high on the bitter scale. The aroma hints at a more bittersweet beer, so it does well in a glass where sweetness on the nose might be a benefit, but on the tongue it is quite bitter. The coffee is prevalent with slight aftertaste hints of a very bitter chocolate. It is very filling, and rather high gravity, pushing 9.5%. I can drink it all day, but for some it may be a bit much on the bitter end of the spectrum. Obviously, at 9.5% it is a serious beer, but the buzz is very mellow and laid back. I am a huge fan of high end liquor, as the buzz is nicer and the hangover is more mild, if not non-existent. 2 thumbs up on the drinkability scale. I had 3 tonight (with some bourbon) and have a killer, mellow buzz. Please, keep in mind, I like full flavored, complex, bitter drinks, so this may not be for you. Choklat is a more rounded drink for everyone with a penchant for stouts, and while I am going to rate this very high, it may not be for everyone. I give this a 9.5 out of 10. I am taking away a 1/2 point because I know that STB can do better. But in all honesty this beer ranks in the top of my favorites. I will place Choklat at #1, while depending on my mood I may prefer Brooklyn's Black Chocolate stout, Dragons Milk or Warlok over this spectacular brew. But this is tough company, and I rate this beer very high because it deserves it.
