Sera Nera

◎ Appearance

Sera Nera pours a deep dark brown, nearly opaque, with excellent clarity despite its unfiltered nature. A creamy, persistent beige head forms and clings to the glass with fine lacing. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the dense foam structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose is fresh and vibrant, leading with prominent resinous and citrus notes—grapefruit dominates the top register. Roasted malt character emerges underneath, adding depth without overwhelming the hop-forward character. A subtle herbaceous quality rounds out the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a striking creamy texture that coats the mouth and sets the stage for earthy, roasted malt flavors. Moderate bitterness (60 IBU) arrives mid-palate and persists without harshness, balancing the dark grain character with a slightly piney hop edge.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, with roasted malt and subtle hop bitterness fading gradually. A dry, slightly warming aftertaste lingers, complemented by the 6.5% ABV.
