Flat White

◎ Appearance

Deep black color with minimal transparency, characteristic of a full-bodied porter. A dense, tan head forms and persists with moderate retention, leaving fine lacing along the glass. Carbonation is restrained, appropriate to the style.

◌ Aroma

Coffee grounds dominate the nose, bringing roasted and earthy depth. Behind the coffee sit subtle fruity notes—stone fruit and dried fruit character—lifted by the Admiral and Goldings hops. The overall impression is layered and complex, with no single element overwhelming the composition.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and slightly sweet, with roasted malt backbone. Mid-palate reveals the coffee's full range—cocoa, dark chocolate, and subtle fruitiness—balanced by restrained bitterness from the Edelhopfen. The 33 IBU sits comfortably in the background, never aggressive, allowing the coffee and malt layers to lead.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with coffee and cocoa notes persisting on the palate. Bitterness fades gracefully, leaving a clean, satisfying aftertaste.
