Mokah

◎ Appearance

Mokah presents as a deep black brew with a brown tint at the edges when held to light. The dense, tan head settles into a persistent collar with notable Schaumhaftung around the glass. Carbonation appears moderate, appropriate to the imperial stout's weight and structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent roasted coffee grounds and dark chocolate, equally weighted and inviting. Beneath these primary notes lie hints of dark fruit—plum and raisin—along with subtle roasted malt character that frames the sweeter adjunct aromas. The 10% alcohol remains well-integrated, adding only a soft warmth without sharp spirits.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and rich, with chocolate and coffee dominating the mid-palate in near-equal measure. The 65 IBU bitterness arrives measured and dry, grounding the inherent sweetness without becoming astringent. The 10% ABV provides body and slight warmth, while the overall character remains smooth and decadent rather than harsh or cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is lengthy and warming, with chocolate and coffee lingering on the palate alongside a subtle roasted dryness. Alcohol warmth persists gently into the aftertaste without dominating.
