Mocha

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown-black color with excellent opacity, characteristic of a well-crafted stout. The dense, tan head settles into a persistent collar that clings to the glass with notable lacing. Carbonation is restrained, allowing the beer to present a dignified, composed surface.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with roasted barley and genuine Arabica coffee notes, followed by layers of fine Belgian chocolate and subtle dark cocoa. A light toasted grain backdrop supports these primary impressions without overwhelming them. The hop character remains restrained, allowing the malt and adjunct profile to dominate.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is smooth and full-bodied, with chocolate and coffee arriving together in the entry and sustaining through the mid-palate. Rich roasted malt complexity builds on a soft, creamy foundation provided by wheat and pale chocolate malts. Bitterness from Goldings and Challenger hops is measured at 28 IBU, providing structure without harshness or drying the finish.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with chocolate and roasted grain lingering pleasantly on the palate. Aftertaste remains clean and slightly sweet, without astringency.
