Brodie’s Prime Export

◎ Aussehen

A deep ruby-brown colour with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. The beer displays a rich, inviting hue that speaks to the dark malts employed in its construction. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting a stable foam collar throughout the tasting.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced dark chocolate and molasses, underpinned by warm treacle sweetness. Behind these forward notes lies a medley of English and American hop character—earthy and slightly herbal—that lends complexity without dominating. A subtle roasted grain backdrop and hints of dried fruit round out the aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full-bodied and rich, with dark chocolate and sweet malt flavours building immediately across the palate. Mid-palate reveals a surprising fruitiness—stone fruits and slight berry notes—layered beneath the roasted bitterness. The finish transitions to a drying, persistent bitterness that extends long and clean, balancing the initial sweetness with a welcome astringency.

◑ Abgang

A long, dry finish with lingering roasted notes and a subtle fruity undertone. The aftertaste remains clean and warming, with the alcohol strength providing gentle heat without harshness.
