Black Mocha Stout: Highland’s most robust beer has a very malty body with a large, roasted chocolate flavor, created from special roasted barley grains. It's their most aromatically hopped beer, so it is made for easy drinking. Terese’s Pale Ale: A golden pale with a slightly malty body balanced by a forward American hop flavor. Oatmeal Porter: A unique robust beer black in color, very malty with hints of chocolate-roasted flavor and a well balanced hop character. Cascade and Willamette hops add a complex hop flavor and aroma. This deep amber-colored American ale features a rich malty body. Gaelic Ale: Their first beer is still their most popular by far.
