Umber

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to brown in color, with a warm, translucent body that reflects the chocolate and roasted malt profile. The unfiltered, unfined character creates a subtle haze throughout. A modest off-white head forms with decent retention and gentle lacing down the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted and chocolate malt character, underpinned by rich caramel sweetness from Munich and chocolate malts. Beneath this foundation sit citrus and pine notes from Centennial, Cascade, and Amarillo hops, offering brightness without dominance. A subtle nutty undertone rounds out the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with chocolate and caramel flavors building through the palate. The crystal malt provides gentle sweetness balanced by restrained bitterness from the hop blend. Mid-palate reveals nutty complexity alongside pine and citrus notes, keeping the beer from becoming cloying despite its malt-forward nature.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with roast and chocolate lingering pleasantly. Bitterness fades gracefully, leaving a lingering nuttiness and subtle citrus afterthought.
