Morrigan

◎ Aussehen

Deep black with a warm coal undertone, opaque and impenetrable to light. A thick, persistent beige head rises above the rim and clings to the glass walls with substantial lacing. Minimal carbonation movement visible, settling into a dense collar that holds throughout.

◌ Aroma

Roasted grain and dark chocolate dominate the nose, grounded by espresso and cocoa powder. Subtle earthiness from Galena and East Kent Goldings hops sits beneath, with faint notes of dried dark fruit emerging as the beer warms. The overall character is mellow and inviting rather than aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with robust roasted malt and chocolate, immediately followed by coffee bitterness that extends across the mid-palate. The full, velvety body carries notes of cocoa and grain without harshness; the bitterness remains restrained at 40 IBU, allowing the malt complexity to shine. Creamy texture coats the mouth, with dark fruit undertones adding subtle dimension.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and satisfying, with roasted grain and bitter chocolate lingering into the aftertaste. Dryness builds gradually, leaving the palate clean and ready for the next sip without astringency.
