Rán

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown-black color with excellent opacity, characteristic of the style. A dense, creamy head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass, leaving fine Schaumhaftung down the side. Fine carbonation supports the visual presentation without excessive liveliness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with roasted grain and cocoa notes from the layered malt base, grounded and inviting. Classic English hops contribute subtle herbal and earthy undertones without dominating. Blackcurrant emerges in the background as a soft fruity whisper, adding dimension without overtaking the malt-forward character.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is smooth and accessible, with nine malts delivering a rich, rounded entry and mid-palate sweetness tempered by gentle dryness. Moderate bitterness from English hops (40 IBU) provides structure without harshness. Blackcurrant surfaces on the mid-palate as tart berry notes, balancing the malt sweetness and creating a nuanced, easy-drinking experience.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with blackcurrant tartness lingering softly alongside a faint roasted grain dryness. Aftertaste remains pleasant and refreshing, inviting another sip without fatigue.
