Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Black Panther New Moon

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany brown with opaque clarity, typical of the style's SRM 20 profile. A modest tan head forms and recedes quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. The beer presents with calm, fine carbonation and a clean, dark presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced roasted coffee grounds and cocoa undertones, characteristic of the grain bill. Subtle toasted malt sweetness provides depth without overwhelming the coffee-forward character. Clean fermentation allows the malt and roast notes to dominate without yeast-derived complexity.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malt-driven, with coffee and roasted grain flavors building quickly across the mid-palate. The 22 IBU bitterness sits low and restrained, balancing rather than asserting itself. Toasted Malz sweetness lingers without cloying, while the 5% ABV keeps the body light and sessionable.
