Brogue

◎ Aussehen

Brogue presents a deep amber to copper hue, clear and bright with good light penetration. The head is dense and persistent, with fine Schaumhaftung that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, giving a soft visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted biscuit and Vienna malt character, followed by subtle dark fruit notes—dried plum and raisin. Roasted barley adds a gentle cocoa and leather undertone, while caramel sweetness rounds the profile. Hop aroma is restrained, appearing only as a whisper of earthy spice in the background.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and malt-sweet, with Vienna and Munich malts providing a bread-like, biscuity foundation. Mid-palate develops deeper caramel and toffee notes, balanced by an earthy bitterness that emerges cleanly without harshness. At 27 IBU, the hops serve the grain rather than challenge it, allowing the malt character to remain prominent throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and moderately long, with roasted barley providing a subtle cocoa and leather dryness. Aftertaste settles into gentle grain and earth, fading cleanly without astringency.
