Bravehop Dark

◎ Aussehen

Deep black with ruby highlights at the edges, revealing the complexity beneath a dark façade. A thick, tan head forms readily and clings to the glass with good retention. The body is opaque and full, with lively carbonation evident in steady bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Marmalade and pine lead the charge, backed by earthy resin notes typical of Columbus and Chinook hops. Dark roast and subtle spice emerge from the malz base, with orange peel adding brightness to the darker tones. The aromatic profile balances citrus sweetness against roasted grain and herbal bitterness.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with roasted character and spice, evolving through the mid-palate where dark malz and orange peel create a bittersweet tension. Columbus and Amarillo hops contribute resinous and citrus layers, while the 60 IBU gives structure without overwhelming. The interplay of bitter coffee notes and candied citrus defines the core drinking experience.

◑ Abgang

The finish is bittersweet and moderately long, with lingering coffee and resin fading into orange zest. A dry quality persists, leaving the palate clean but engaged.
