SETI NOT YETI

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to near-black in the glass, with a color that borders on opaque when held to light. A thick, tan head forms on the pour and clings to the glass with persistent lacing. The body reads as full and dense, with minimal visible carbonation activity.

◌ Aroma

Roasted malt dominates the nose, bringing forward notes of dark chocolate and a subtle coffee grain. Beneath these primary notes, faint dark fruit undertones emerge—plum or raisin—without any sharp roast bite. The oats contribute a soft, cereal-like sweetness that rounds out the overall impression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with rich roasted character and chocolate, then transitions into a creamy mid-palate where the oats create a velvety, smooth texture. Mild bitterness from the roasted malts (30 IBU) surfaces gradually rather than aggressively, leaving room for subtle coffee and cocoa flavors to linger. The 5% ABV remains completely integrated, adding no heat or spirit notes.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with roasted malt and a whisper of coffee persisting on the palate. No sharp edges or astringency; instead, the aftertaste settles into a pleasant, faintly sweet chocolate note.
