No light. No mercy. Just hops and fire.
After the fruitfulness of ELVENBERRY, the crispness of DWARVEN FORGE and the lightness of WHITE TREE PALE, the fourth release of our Lord of the Rings series has arrived by popular demand, because without the darkness of MORDOR, the adventure would not be complete...
Where the ashes rise to the sky, this black IPA is born. Inspired by the gloomy land of Mordor, where darkness meets fire. Deep tones of crisp malts merge with the ferociously pungent bite of hops - earthy, resinous and citrusy notes, as if forged by Sauron himself. One sip and you know there's no turning back

Can from Havnens Vin og Tobakhus. Pours opaque brownish black with large light brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, bitter grapefruit, spruce, resin, grass, hay, caramel, coffee, biscuits, and hints of sweet orange. Taste is medium to very sweet, medium bitter, faint acidic and light salty. Body is milky with light carbonation. Finish is long and balanced sweet and bitter with lots of roasted malt, and grassy and tropical hops. Very nice. Appearance: +1 for the nice label

From tap at TETŐ by Mad Scientist, Budapest, 19.09.25. Ebony. Dense and fairly persistent brown head and lacing. Fine and well-balanced aroma and taste of grapefruit, pine, dark chocolate and espresso. Good!
