Coal Flower

◎ Appearance

Deep garnet-black with subtle translucence at the edges when held to light. A dense, tan head forms and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending gentle liveliness without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens bright and inviting, with candied citrus zest cutting through a foundation of dark roasted malt. Coffee and cocoa undertones emerge gradually, grounded by a subtle spicy rye character that adds complexity without dominating. Clean and well-composed, with no harsh alcohol notes.

◐ Taste

Citrus brightness hits first on the palate, then yields gracefully to chocolate and coffee notes that develop into a warm, creeping cocoa richness. The rye works through the mid-palate, contributing a fine, peppery spice that sharpens the otherwise smooth malt base. Bitterness is restrained at 60 IBU, present enough to frame the flavors but never harsh.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with cocoa and coffee lingering gently on the palate. Rye spice fades gracefully, leaving a warm, even aftertaste that invites the next sip.
