Schwarze Gams

◎ Appearance

Deep black colour, opaque and impenetrable to light. The head forms dense and creamy, with fine retention and persistent lacing down the glass. Soft carbonation creates a gentle, delicate bead that rises through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted malt character—dark grain, cocoa, and coffee dominate. Caramel sweetness emerges underneath, accompanied by subtle stone fruit notes of plum. A hint of dried dark fruit lingers in the background, adding complexity to the bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with bright acidity and fresh cherry and grape notes that cut through the malt richness. Mid-palate develops into layered roast, caramel, toffee, and dried fruit flavours, creating a full, creamy mouthfeel. The finish is marked by coffee and fine roast bitterness, balanced and restrained rather than aggressive.

◑ Finish

Coffee notes carry into a clean, moderately long finish with lingering roast character. The aftertaste remains smooth and dry, with no harsh edges or astringency.
