The Rogue Mocha is a good example of the porter style in every way but one. As some Oregon breweries are wont to do, and as Oregon is home to many of the States' hops farms, Rogue over hops their Mocha Porter. The grapefruit flavour of what I'm guessing is cascade hops does not jive well with the coffe flavour of the roasted malt. The Deschutes on the other hand is a nearly perfectly balanced porter. Lots of chocolate maltiness, not too sweet, not too much molasses aroma, nice big head, very nice. I'd have to say at this point its a tie between the Black Butte and the Butte Creek. All the best porters have the word Butte in them.
