Rotschopf

◎ Appearance

Copper-bright and clear, with a persistent cream-coloured head that clings to the glass. The carbonation is lively without being aggressive, reflecting a well-balanced bottom fermentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted malt and coffee, grounded by a honeyed sweetness reminiscent of nougat. Subtle notes of chocolate and dark dried fruit emerge beneath, layered without harshness by the brewery's own Mühlviertel yeast strain.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a lively snap before unfolding into roasted and chocolate character. Malty sweetness—coffee, honey, and nougat—moves through the mid-palate, accompanied by dried fruit complexity. The moderate bitterness (28 IBU) frames rather than dominates, leaving a smooth, creamy mouthfeel.

◑ Finish

The finish persists with a gentle warming and lingering roasted-malt notes. Chocolate and coffee fade gradually without astringency or sharp edges.
